MLS Preview: FC Dallas (6-1-4) at Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2-6-2)

The Whitecaps are unbeaten in their last four matches against FC Dallas (W2 D2), including a 1-0 home win in the last meeting. Vancouver has never won consecutive matches against Dallas (25 meetings, including playoffs).

Vancouver is unbeaten in consecutive matches for the first time this season following a 3-3 draw with San Jose on Saturday. The draw marked the fifth time in 10 matches that Vancouver has allowed at least three goals this season.

FC Dallas scored three times in the first 23 minutes of its 3-1 win over the Galaxy on Saturday. It was the fastest from kickoff Dallas has scored three goals in a match since doing so in the opening 16 minutes of a match against New England in May 2006.

The Whitecaps last eight goals, including all three against San Jose on Saturday, have been scored in the second half. Vancouver’s two first-half goals are fewest in MLS as it hasn’t scored before the break in nearly two months since a 12th-minute Tristan Blackmon goal against LAFC on March 20.

Thirteen of FC Dallas’ last 16 MLS goals, including all three against the Galaxy on Saturday, have been scored by Americans. No other team has more than eight goals from Americans this season.
