FC Dallas host Colorado Rapids at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday in Major League Soccer, looking for only their ninth win of the campaign. It's been another tough run for the Bulls, who find themselves in the same position as last year - 11th in the Western Conference and out of contention for the playoffs spots.
But since their 4-3 loss to New York City FC, Dallas are unbeaten in their next five league outings, winning twice. It shows a marked improvement in their performance, but they need to win more in their remaining games to climb within the top nine spots on the table.
However, that in itself has been their biggest challenge as Dallas have really struggled to pick up three points from a match. Against rivals Austin, Eric Quill's side prevailed 2-0 on home turf as Petar Musa and Bernard Kamungo scored apiece in either half.
Trending
Colorado have accrued only five points more than Dallas and occupy eighth position on the top-flight table. They've won three from their last five to showcase an upturn in form, and are heading into the wild-card round as things stand.
