Dallas puts road unbeaten run on line at Toronto
Soccer Betting Lines
07/23/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas has not lost on the road since April
and puts its six-match road undefeated streak on the line Saturday at Toronto FC, which is one of three Major League Soccer teams still unbeaten at home.
FC Dallas (6-2-7) lost to Red Bull New York in mid-April, but has two wins and
four draws in its last six road matches. Dallas won at Houston and Chivas USA,
and has scored in every road game this season.
Coach Schellas Hyndman's club managed just eight points on the road last year,
but already has 10 points away from home. Dallas doesn't have a magic formula,
according to Hyndman, but the club does try to take the home side out of their
"comfort zone."
"We go after teams and take away that home field [advantage], that comfort
zone," Hyndman said. "It seems to be working."
"We know if we play our game in our system, teams are going to have to adjust
to us if we stick to what we do well," Dallas defender Heath Pearce said. "I
think we've implemented that well on the road."
Although Toronto (6-5-4) is unbeaten in eight home matches, Dallas has managed
to get results in its previous visits to Toronto. Dallas is 1-1-1 at BMO Field
in its history.
Dallas enters the match after an impressive 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, which
snapped the defending MLS Cup champions' 10-match undefeated streak. Brek Shea
and Atiba Harris scored for Dallas.
Hyndman will be forced to make a minor change this week, as Bruno Guardo will
likely make his second start of the season for the injured Dax McCarty.
"He's just a guy that we have a lot of confidence in and he knows the system
well," McCarty said of Guarda. "He knows what Schellas wants out of him and he
has the trust of everyone."
The Los Angeles Galaxy preserved their undefeated home mark with a 2-2 draw on
Thursday against the San Jose Earthquakes, and Real Salt Lake is also unbeaten
at home.
Toronto had its eight-match unbeaten streak snapped last weekend in a 2-1 loss
to the Philadelphia Union, as Sebastian Le Toux converted a penalty in injury
time.
TFC played England's Bolton on Wednesday, falling 4-3 on penalty kicks after a
1-1 tie. Toronto FC debuted its recent signing, Spanish striker Mista, against
Bolton and he's set to make his MLS debut against Dallas. Mista, a Designated
Player, assisted on Toronto's goal against Bolton.
Toronto is third in the Eastern Conference and Dallas is third in the Western
Conference, making a result this weekend crucial as both teams enter the start
half of their schedules.
