With each team managing only one win in their last eight matches, Toronto FC and FC Dallas will be desperate to take three points from Saturday night’s clash at Toyota Stadium. Despite their poor form, the home side are currently fifth in the Western Conference. A win could give Dallas the momentum needed to remain in the playoff race going forward. Conversely, visitors Toronto FC are clinging on to the final playoff spot in the East on 19 points, with just three points separating them from the tenth-placed New England Revolution.
Although each side will miss key players on Saturday, TFC’s absences leave them at a greater disadvantage.
