FC Dallas host Austin at the Toyota Stadium in MLS on Saturday, looking to snap their winless run in the competition. For the past three games, Los Toros have only seen stalemates: a triumvirate of 1-1 draws against Austin, LAFC and St. Louis.
With only seven wins and 31 points in the bag from 28 games, the Texas outfit are down in 12th position in the Western Conference standings.
Since finishing in third place three years ago, Dallas have fallen drastically, so much so that they've struggled to even finish inside the top 10 places in the last two editions.
Given their lackluster performances this season too, it appears that the side will finish in the bottom six again.
Austin are up in sixth place with 41 points and 11 wins. After a dry spell at the start of August, which saw them go the first three games without a victory, Los Verdes beat San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City in consecutive games to get their campaign up and running again.
