FC Dallas has a massive match on Sunday, with playoff seeding on the line. It may not sound like much on paper, but historically teams have done better in the playoffs when they secure the first round bye. That’s what’s on the line.
If Dallas wins, they cannot finish any worse than second in the West, and thus, avoid playing in the knock out round. Anything other than a win, and then Dallas will need several results to bounce in their favor. FCD will need to show up in this one, and treat it like a ‘win or go home’ type match.
