History is against Oscar Pareja's side, but the coach has his team feeling confident ahead of a difficult second leg.
PACHUCA, Mexico — History is working against FC Dallas on Tuesday.
Whether recent or distant, the past is not on the club's side. Only a pair of MLS teams have advanced to the CONCACAF Champions League final, and neither of those sides won on Mexican soil.
The opponent, Pachuca, doesn't have just any old home-field advantage, either. Tuzos are undefeated in their last 29 matches at home in all competitions, a streak stretching back to a Copa MX defeat in February 2016.
