Vancouver hasn’t lost any of its last five matches against FC Dallas (W3 D2) and has lost just one of the last nine MLS meetings (W4 D4) dating back to 2017. The Whitecaps are unbeaten in four straight trips to Dallas (W1 D3) after losing each of their first eight league games in Dallas.
FC Dallas saw its five-match home winning streak come to an end in its last match at Toyota Stadium, losing, 2-1, to Minnesota United on May 22. It was the first time this season that Dallas allowed multiple goals in a match at home, having previously let in just four goals in six home league games in 2022.
Vancouver lost, 4-0, at Seattle on Tuesday night, the eighth loss in the Whitecaps last nine road MLS matches (W1, including playoffs). Vancouver has allowed at least three goals in five of those nine games.
Paul Arriola has scored in five straight MLS matches, equaling the third-longest streak in FC Dallas history. Only Carlos Ruiz (7 straight in 2006) and Jeff Cunningham (6 straight in 2009) have had longer runs of MLS games with a goal for Dallas.
The Whitecaps failed to register a shot on target in Tuesday’s loss in Seattle, the second time this season they’ve failed to do so (vs. Columbus in February). This is the fifth time since the start of the 2020 season that the Whitecaps have failed to record a shot on target in a match, most in MLS in that span.
