FC Dallas host Sporting Kansas City at the Toyota Stadium in Texas on Saturday in the Major League Soccer, looking to end their three-game winless run.
It's been a whirlwind season for the Toros, who've largely blown hot and cold. One time, they're going a few games unbeaten, other times, they go weeks without a single victory.
After going four games unbeaten between July and August, the side won just once in their next seven. Now with a total of just 38 points from 33 games, the Texas outfit are down in 11th position of the Western Conference table.

Their poor run also saw head coach Nico Estévez given the boot in June with assistant coach Peter Luccin taking over as the interim manager. So far, he too has been unable to steer the ship towards stability.
However, they'd be delighted to see that their upcoming fixture is against a side in a much worse position, as Kansas City are second from bottom. They've accrued seven points fewer than Dallas and won only eight games all season.
The Wizards last won a top-flight fixture a month ago, when Colorado Rapids were smashed 4-1, as the former ran riot in the second half. But since then, it's gone downhill for them again, making that earlier victory seem like a false dawn.

FC Dallas vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
It's a clash of two struggling teams, residing in the lower rungs of the league table. While the home side have failed to win their last three games, the other come into the fixture on a three-game losing run. With such a desperate lack of quality in both camps, expect a drab affair.
