FC Dallas is looking for their first win against New York City FC since 2015 this weekend. The two sides will battle for the first time at Citi Field, home of the MLB’s New York Mets, on Saturday evening.

Coming into this match, both teams are fresh off home victories on Matchday 8\. FC Dallas got a late Bernard Kamungo goal to defeat conference rivals Real Salt Lake, while the Cityzens downed Nashville SC 2-1.

### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas**: Sebastian Lletget - We haven’t singled him out much this season (and we won’t get into his personal life here either), but this feels like a game in that he will need to be more involved given some potential absences for FCD on the offensive side of things.

**Party like it is 2015** \- FC Dallas last defeated New York City FC, 2-1, in  
NYC’s inaugural 2015 season. New York City is unbeaten in six straight games against FC Dallas (W2 D4) going back to 2016, including a 1-0 victory in July last year. Of the seven prior meetings between the two squads, it was the first where either team was held scoreless.

**Showing character in 2023** \- Two of FC Dallas’ wins in 2023 have been come-from-behind efforts after conceding the opening goal.

**Don’t just find one, get two**: Since 2018, FC Dallas is 54-5-14 and has a 0.831 winning percentage when scoring at least two goals.

**Homegrown clock**: FC Dallas Homegrowns have played a total of 1,715 minutes and made 21 appearances.
