Previews, game notes, lineup predictions and how to watch

The season is quickly coming to an end for FC Dallas here as they play their final away game of the year tonight against the Portland Timbers.

Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa – He is still leading the club this season but has been cold in recent weeks. We need to see him finish this season with some additional goals to his already 15 goals this season.

All-time record in Portland: FC Dallas hasn't had much success in Portland over the years, with just one regular season win at Providence Park in 2016. FC Dallas is 2-9-2 in all competitions in Portland.

Non-Saturday record in 2024: FC Dallas is 3-4-0 on non-Saturdays.

Homemade clock: In 2024, the FC Dallas Homegrowns (Nolan Norris, Dante Sealy, Paxton Pomykal, Jesús Ferreira, Tarik Scott) played a total of 2,413 minutes and made 40 appearances.

Games were missed due to injuries: The injury monitoring continues into another season. So far this season, 149 games have been missed due to injury. Even if you took out the three long-term injured players (Paxton Pomykal, Geovane Jesus and Alan Velasco), FC Dallas would still miss 70 games this season due to injury.

Possible setup:

Peter Luccin may change players this weekend after the team is officially eliminated from the playoffs.
