Before kickoff

Dallas' home attack meets Seattle's away resistance

The key question at Toyota Stadium is whether FC Dallas can turn their stronger home scoring record into an advantage against a Seattle Sounders side that has been difficult to score against away. Dallas have scored 25 goals in home games this season, while Seattle have conceded 15 in away games and kept five away clean sheets.

The supplied 28-match form sample offers no simple separation. Dallas' latest five results are win, loss, draw, win and win. Seattle's latest five are win, loss, win, win and draw. Both teams therefore arrive with recent success in the sequence, but the evidence does not establish a broader trend beyond those results.

Provisional Western Conference stakes and team news

Before this Round 29 match, Dallas are third in the Western Conference with 47 points from 28 games, while Seattle are seventh with 41 points from 28 games. Dallas lead Seattle by six points. Vancouver Whitecaps lead the conference with 51 points; Dallas trail by four points and Seattle by 10.

Geovane Jesus is questionable for Dallas with a knee injury. Seattle list N. Petkovic, P. Rothrock and P. de La Vega as missing the fixture, with knee, tendon and calf injuries respectively. J. Morris and A. Roldan are questionable with injuries.

At kickoff, can Dallas' 25-goal home output break through Seattle's away defensive record without the absences changing the visitors' resistance?
