Minnesota United host FC Dallas at the Allianz Field on Saturday, looking to extend their unbeaten run to eight games in the MLS. Since a 1-0 loss to Los Angeles FC on the opening day, the Loons have managed to avoid defeat in the next seven outings, winning four times and drawing thrice.
With 15 points in the bag, Eric Ramsay's side are up in second place in the Western Conference standings, behind only leaders Vancouver Whitecaps (19).
Last weekend, their surge was halted by Toronto, who held them to a goalless stalemate as Minnesota's two-game winning run ended.
On the other hand, FC Dallas are down in eighth position in the same table, having won just thrice and accumulated only 11 points in their campaign so far.

Since winning back-to-back games at the end of March, Los Toros drew 1-1 to Atlanta United before a 1-0 loss to Seattle Sounders.
