Dallas aiming to extend unbeaten run with TFC coming to town
Soccer Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas set a record last weekend after
earning a scoreless draw at Columbus, going 10 straight Major League Soccer
road fixtures without a loss.
On Saturday, the Hoops (9-2-10), one of the league's hottest teams, will try
to extend their overall unbeaten run to 13 games when they host Toronto FC at
Pizza Hut Park.
"Not too many teams come in here and get a point against Columbus," Dallas
coach Schellas Hyndman told mlssoccer.com after the draw. "To get a point
here, to withstand the pressure of their set pieces, it continues to show our
determination and our character. Hopefully we'll continue to develop
confidence with this type of game."
Toronto (7-8-6), on the other hand, has been downright atrocious on the road,
going 1-7-1 away from BMO Field. Because of that they are struggling to get
into playoff contention with just under 10 games remaining in the regular
season.
Toronto earned a 1-1 draw against Dallas on July 24th at home, bust since then
have gone 1-3-1 overall and are 0-2-0 on the road.
The Reds will be without defender Emmanuel Gomez, midfielder Amadou Sanyang
and forward Chad Barrett, while forward Maicon Santos is doubtful, all with
injuries. Also, more importantly, Dwayne De Rosario, Julian de Guzman and Nana
Attakora are away on international duty with the Canadian national team.
"It comes down to how many players we'll have," Toronto coach Preki told the
league's website. "Some are going, but none are coming. We only have one win
on the road. We need points, so we'll have to start winning some time."
Hyndman's team will be shorthanded on Saturday as well, with four key starters
absent. Defender Ugo Ihemelu and midfielder Dax McCarty are still out with
injuries, while team captain Daniel Hernandez and winger Atiba Harris are
suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
