After collecting one point and scoring no goals in the first three meetings, FC Dallas earned a 1-0 win over Nashville in the most recent match between the sides, in November 2020. That result remains one of only two home losses for Nashville and the only home defeat in the last two years.
FC Dallas has won just one of its last 14 matches dating back to the beginning of September 2021 (D6 L7). The nine points Dallas has collected in that time is second worst in MLS ahead of only FC Cincinnati (3).
Including last season’s playoffs, Nashville has lost only one of its last 14 matches (W4 D9, including a penalty shootout-loss). Nashville’s only defeat in that time was a 1-0 loss at Philadelphia in October.
FC Dallas has conceded once in each of its first two matches in 2022. Since the start of last season, Dallas has kept just four clean sheets, second fewest in the league among teams that played in MLS in 2021 (Toronto – 2).
C.J. Sapong scored in the fifth minute in Nashville’s 1-1 draw with Minnesota on Saturday. It was the third-fastest goal in club history and the fastest since Sapong netted in the second minute against the Union last July.
