Comparative Team Statistics: FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders

History doesn't match the current gap

Despite Dallas's clear edge in form and in the table, Seattle have actually won the last three meetings between these two. That includes a 2-1 win at Dallas's own ground back in April this season.

Go further back and the series looks fairly even, with wins shared across the years. It's the recent run that stands out, and it cuts against what the current form suggests.

Recent head-to-head results run counter to the current form and standings gap, which is worth bearing in mind.

League table backs up the form

Dallas sit fourth with 44 points from 26 games. Seattle are down in tenth with 32 points from 25, a decent gap given how the season has gone so far.

Dallas have also scored more and conceded fewer goals across their campaign, which lines up with what the recent form shows.

Names to watch on both sides

Dallas's P. Musa has been the division's most productive forward, with 18 goals in 23 appearances. He's also listed among players away on international duty, alongside Binyamin and Kamungo, which is a reminder that squad availability this far out isn't settled. Ramiro is shown as missing through yellow-card accumulation, and a few others carry knee, leg or head knocks marked as questionable rather than confirmed absences.

P. Rothrock

Seattle have a longer list of niggles to track. Kim Kee-Hee, Minoungou, Rothrock, Ferreira, Petkovic and de La Vega all appear with injury concerns, while Joveljic is away on international duty. On the creative side, A. Rusnák remains Seattle's main source of assists this season with nine to his name.

None of this confirms who plays on matchday, but both squads have plenty of names to keep an eye on closer to kickoff.

Which version turns up?

Dallas's home form and their top-four position make them the more obvious side on paper, especially with Seattle looking so blunt in attack lately.

But Seattle have found a way past Dallas in three straight meetings, and Dallas's own defence has shipped plenty of goals this year too. With the match still weeks away and international call-ups already affecting both squads, it's genuinely hard to say how either team lines up on the day.
