Life has been rough for FC Dallas as of late. The club has two wins in their last nine games across all competitions. Things have gone from bad to worse in the last week, as the club lost a rivalry week match at home to the Houston Dynamo before losing on penalty kicks Wednesday night in the US Open Cup to the New York Red Bulls.
But, with a new weekend comes a new chance to snap the winless run. To do so, FC Dallas will have to find a win in a place that they've historically struggled in when they take on the Seattle Sounders Saturday afternoon.
Let’s dive into some notes, predictions and more.

FC Dallas Notes:
Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa - While he's still not 100% from his ankle injury, the Croatian will have to lead this team with Lucho Acosta suspended for this match.
All-time at Seattle: FC Dallas has struggled in Washington over the year with only a single win to their name. That came back in the 2011 season.
Familiar foe: In Seattle’s MLS history, including Saturday’s game and playoff series, they have faced FC Dallas more than any other club. Yeah, including Portland or Vancouver. This will be the 47th meeting between the two clubs.
Homegrown clock: The Homegrown minutes are starting to tick up again as Paxton Pomykal returned to action and Tarik Scott picking up some late game experience lately. Along with what Michael Collodi and Nolan Norris have earned, the season total is up to 769 minutes.
Notable season stats:
- Osaze Urhoghide is fourth in MLS in aerial challenges won with 39.
- Urhoghide is tied for first across MLS in aerial challenges won
without ball control with 33. - Urhoghide is tied second in goals scored from freekicks with one.
- Anderson Julio leads MLS alongside Tani Oluwaseyi, Anders Dreyer
and Martin Ojeda in goals scored on counterattack with two. - Léo Chú has the fastest speed recorded for FC Dallas this season at
35.3 KPH/21.9 MPH ranking No. 11 in MLS. - Shaq Moore is tied for 18th in MLS in clearances with 21.
