5 Things to Know About #PORvFCD
Peerless Accuracy
Brandon Servania had his first ever MLS assist in FC Dallas's 2-2 draw with Vancouver. He combined that with a 95.5% passing accuracy and three chances created in a game where he started in the midfield alongside fellow Homegrowns Edwin Cerrillo and Paxton Pomykal.
Moving Up the Charts
With a goal on Wednesday against Vancouver, Jesús Ferreira now leads FC Dallas with five strikes in the MLS. His goal was his first in eight MLS appearances, which put Ferreira in a tie for 21st place on the MLS scoring chart.
Everyday, Everywhere
Ryan Hollingshead has been ever-present for FC Dallas recently, playing in its last five MLS matches. His versatility has also been on show, as he has played four different positions in those five games (left back, center back, right back, defensive midfield).
New Home for Portland
Having played the first 12 games of the season away from home due to stadium maintenance and reconstruction, Portland is 1-1-0 since returning to its refurbished home field. However, playing in Portland will bring back happy memories for FC Dallas, who clinched a playoff spot in the 2018 playoffs during its last trip to The Beaver State.
Against Portland
FC Dallas vs. Portland is typically a very competitive matchup. The all-time series stands at 8-6-7 in Dallas' favor. However, Portland has been dominant at home with Dallas only earning one win in its nine games at Providence Park.
