FC Dallas will look to end their three-game winless run in the MLS when they visit the Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Stadium to take on Colorado Rapids on Sunday.
The hosts, meanwhile, will aim to quickly return to winning ways after losing to Los Angeles FC last time out.
Colorado Rapids failed to make it four wins on the bounce last Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Los Angeles FC.
Diego Rossi scored a first-half brace to give the hosts a 2-0 lead heading into the break, but Michael Barrios pulled one back for the visitors in the 50th minute.
With 10 points from six games, Robin Fraser's men are in fifth place in the Western Conference table.
On the other hand, FC Dallas’ struggles continued last time out as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Real Salt Lake.
In an end-to-end affair, Damir Kreilach scored a dramatic 86th-minute goal for Real Salt Lake to force a share of the spoils.
FC Dallas have managed just one win from their first six games, falling to two defeats and three draws.
This poor run of results has seen Luchi Gonzalez's men drop to the bottom spot in the Western Conference table, level on points with Minnesota United and Austin.
