Form Guide — Last 5
FC Dallas
Dallas' recent five-game stretch reads D‑W‑W‑L‑D, featuring a 2‑1 away win at Austin and a 4‑3 high‑scoring victory against Real Salt Lake. Those two wins show they can find the net even on the road, which supports the notion they will continue to score at home against a weak SKC defence.
Sporting Kansas City
SKC have recorded L‑L‑D‑L‑L in their last five, with a 0‑2 loss at Houston and a 0‑3 home defeat to Vancouver. The lack of goals – only one scored in five matches – underlines their struggle to threaten Dallas, backing the expectation of a low‑scoring outing for the visitors.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Dallas have won three times, including a recent 4‑2 victory on 15 June 2025, confirming a recent dominance that aligns with the win pick.
