FC Dallas look to keep the momentum going against the visiting Portland Timbers tomorrow. FCD remain unbeaten to start the 2018 regular season, thanks to some steady defending and Clint Dempsey being... well, Clint Dempsey.
The Timers on the other hand, have had a rough start to 2018, having lost both their matches by a combined score of 6-1. However, both of those games have been away from home.
