FC Dallas looks to snap a six-game winless streak this weekend when they head to the Rocky Mountains to battle the Colorado Rapids.

The Rapids are coming off a big 3-0 road win in San Jose last weekend, while FC Dallas has picked up two straight scoreless draws against St. Louis and Seattle.

FC Dallas Notes:

Key player for FC Dallas: Asier Illarramendi - The veteran midfielder got back on the field last weekend in the draw with Seattle. Getting him back into the starting lineup will be key as the club looks for more consistency on the road.

Last year against Colorado: The Rapids, despite their struggles in 2023, got the best of FC Dallas in the season series by winning the lone game in Colorado 2-1 before picking up a 1-1 draw in Frisco.

Homegrown clock: In 2024, FC Dallas Homegrowns (Dante Sealy, Paxton Pomykal, Jesús Ferreira) played a total of 816 minutes and made 12 appearances.

Games missed due to injuries: The injury watch continues into another season. So far, 39 games have been missed due to injuries this season.

Potential Lineup:

After two straight scoreless draws, it looks like we could see a little bit of a change this weekend against the Rapids.

Paes; Junqua, Gonzalez, Ibeagha; Sealy, Fraser, Illarramendi, Arriola; Lletget, Ansah; Musa
