Scouting Report: Chance to close gap with league leaders FC Dallas

The Colorado Rapids have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season following their 2-0 defeat at New England.

Things won’t get any easier as they head to Frisco for a matchup with Western Conference and Supporters’ Shield-leading FC Dallas this weekend.

With an away record of 2-5-6, and FC Dallas unbeaten at home, Pablo Mastroeni’s men will need to be sharp to come away with a result.

The Opponent

FC Dallas have won a league-leading 15 games so far this season, scoring 45 goals and conceding 36. They have a seven point lead on the next closest clubs in the Supporters’ Shield standings, and have won each of their past two matches 3-1.
