After a scintillating 3-1 thrashing of Red Salt Lake, FC Dallas prepare themselves to host Columbus Crew in a mouth-watering MLS clash.
FC Dallas would be vying to make it two wins in a row as a goal from Paul Arriola and brace from Jesus Ferreira secured them to a routine victory on Wednesday. Currently occupying the last play-offs spot in the Western Conference, FC Dallas have the perfect opportunity to leapfrog multiple sides and climb till the 6th position in the table.
The home side also boast of a staggering record playing in their own backyard being undefeated in seven consecutive games and they would be hoping to make it eight when Columbus Crew come visiting.
Columbus Crew also enter the contest on the back of a 3-0 victory against Chicago Fire as Cucho Hernandez bagged his second hattrick of the season.
Third in the Eastern Conference, Columbus Crew are destined to make it to the second phase of the campaign but the visitors would want to garner maximum points from their remaining fixtures as they'll want to pick up a winning momentum heading into the business end of the season.
