FC Dallas and Sporting Kansas City faced off earlier in the season in Kansas City and left with with a scoreless draw. The circumstances around that game were very different though. FC Dallas was also prepping for a midweek Champions League game and rested several starters in the match.
Since then Sporting KC has picked up their offense, while keeping their defense at a high level. Both teams have been two of the better sides in MLS, each getting 11 points in their last five.
Sporting Kansas City

- Current Record: 3-0-3 (2nd in Western Conference)
- Last Time: 1-0 win at Portland Timbers
- Player to Watch For: Jimmy Medranda has been an unsung hero for SKC this year.
