Cellar-dwelling Colorado Rapids will welcome Dallas to DSG Park on Saturday in an effort to move up the MLS standings.
Since the beginning of May, Colorado has gone winless in the competition, and Dallas has lost three of their last four league games.

Colorado Rapids have suffered seven losses in nine league games since their 3-1 triumph against LA Galaxy on May 7, with two scoreless contests accounting for the sole points earned.
Those victories took place at DSG Park, providing the home team encouragement going into the match on Sunday.
Dallas, on the other hand, is sixth in the Western Conference, but after losing three of their previous four games, they have dropped down the standings.
The fact that Nico Estevez's team has lost three straight away games and has only managed one goal in 270 minutes of play on the road gives the struggling Rapids hope of pulling off an upset.
Dallas might drop out of the top seven if they lose on Sunday, but that would take victories for all three teams below them and an unexpected loss for Estevez's team.
