- FCD has a .500 winning percentage (3-3-5) when scoring first, the worst in the league.
- The Timbers haven't scored in three matches. Opposition teams have outscored them 7-0 in that time. The Timbers have lost seven MLS matches in a row.
- Dallas took advantage of that miserable run, thrashing Portland 5-0 on July 21. Aside from that heavy win, Dallas has only won one other match since April 14.
- Three Timbers players are a booking away from a suspension: Jack Jewsbury, Lovel Palmer and Franck Songo'o.
