After that Sunday night dumpster fire of a match against the Portland Timbers, it will not get any easier for the Vancouver Whitecaps (8-8-3) as they travel to what’s likely to be their least favorite MLS destination, and square off against an in-form FC Dallas (9-3-7).

Match Information

Where: Toyota Stadium, Frisco, TX

In spite of the uninspired 2-1 loss to Portland last Sunday, the Whitecaps are still 2-2-1 over their last five matches, remain in sixth place in the Western Conference, enough to earn the team a spot in the playoffs, and at the very least hold a two-game advantage over teams both ahead and behind them in the standings.
