FC Dallas met a tough loss in Houston in their last match and saw their undefeated streak come to an end. They will now return home for their next assignment, where they will play host to the NY Red Bulls on Saturday. The Red Bulls are also coming off a loss, but at home against Montreal.

FC Dallas (5-3-2) were not very bad in their away match against Houston but were down by two goals at the hour mark. They only scored a late consolation goal but lost by 2-1 and saw their three-match undefeated streak come to an end (2-0-1). FC Dallas are now sitting at the 5th spot of the Western Conference with 17 points, two ahead of Minnesota and two behind Seattle. Moreover, they are undefeated at home so far (3-0-2).
The NY Red Bulls (3-5-2) are coming off a bad 2-1 loss at home against Montreal, in a match where they actually took an early lead. Prior to that the Red Bulls had won back to back matches and were hoping that they can turn their season around. But the truth is that those where their only wins in their last eight. The Red Bulls are now sitting at the 10th spot of the Eastern Conference with 11 points, three behind the playoff spots.

The Red Bulls have been tremendous in this match-up in recent years, as they are undefeated in the last six against Dallas and have lost just once in the past decade (8-1-4). There has been total balance in matches between the two in this venue (8-8-5) but FC Dallas have won just one of the last seven here (1-3-3). The Red Bulls might be missing Wright-Phillips again, in which case I will go with the hosts.
