17/09/2023 3:30 am
Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as FC Dallas and Seattle Sounders meet at the Toyota Stadium on Sunday morning.
Both sides, who were involved in draws in their last matches before the international break, will look to take the positives from those results and return to winning ways.
Dallas turned in a resilient team performance on September 13 when they fought back from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against Atlanta United at the Toyota Stadium.
Prior to that, Dallas halted their run of three straight matches without a win on August 27, when they claimed a 1-0 victory over Austin FC, four days before suffering a 2-1 defeat at St Louis City.
With the result against Atlanta United last time out, Nico Estevez’s side are now unbeaten in four of their last five league home matches, picking up three wins and one draw since June.
Dallas have now posted nine wins, seven draws and lost 10 of their 26 MLS matches to collect 34 points and sit ninth in the Western Conference standings, although with two games in hand.
Meanwhile, Seattle Sounders were denied successive wins for the first time since July as they were held to a 2-2 draw by a resilient Portland Timbers side after blowing their two-goal first-half lead at Lumen Field.
This followed a 2-1 victory at Austin on August 31, when Jordan Morris and Albert Rusnak scored either side of Sebastian Driussi’s 72nd-minute equaliser to end their run of six successive games without a win across all competitions.
Seattle Sounders have now picked up 41 points from their 28 MLS matches so far to sit second in the Western Conference standings, seven points adrift of first-placed St Louis City.
While Brian Schmetzer’s side will be looking to return to winning ways, they are without success in 11 of their last 12 visits to the Toyota Stadium, losing eight and claiming three draws since September 2014.
Dallas vs. Seattle Sounders Head to head
In the 41 previous meetings between these two teams, Dallas have claimed 11 victories while Seattle Sounders have won 19, and they have drawn in 11. Seattle have scored 61 goals and conceded 43 in the process.

Dallas remain without the services of forward Tarik Scott, who continues his lengthy spell on the sidelines through an ACL injury.
With his assist against Atlanta last time out, Jesus Ferreira has now been involved in 11 goals this season and should spearhead the attack once again, alongside strike partner Alan Velasco.
