Minnesota United sit just one point off the playoff places and must find defensive stability against a Dallas side firmly entrenched in the top nine.
Minnesota United enter this fixture 11th in the Western Conference, trailing the playoff places by a single point with 11 games remaining. Cameron Knowles' side has struggled for consistency, winning just one of their last 12 MLS matches. Their most recent outing was a frantic 5-4 defeat to Portland Timbers, highlighting an attack that can find the net but a backline that has conceded eight goals in just two games.
FC Dallas occupy 4th place and hold a seven-point cushion within the playoff places. Under Eric Quill, the team has become the league's entertainers, recently following up a 3-3 draw against St. Louis City with a 4-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City, secured by a 97th-minute Petar Musa penalty. This trip to Allianz Field comes immediately after a gruelling nine-game road stretch for the Texas club.
