2013 Matchday 27: FC Dallas vs Vancouver Whitecaps

FC Dallas is back after a week off from league play tonight as they host the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Both teams are in the middle of a heated playoff battle as each club sits just a couple points out of the fifth and final playoff spot today. A win would certainly help FC Dallas' chances tonight as they head into their final two months of the regular season.
