FC Dallas Versus Orlando City SC

by Sydney Staples

FRISCO, TEXAS — FC Dallas’ second-to-last regular season home game is a must-win one against Orlando City SC on Saturday.

Dallas (10-13-7) is in 10th place, but is still five points away from the play-in-game.

Orlando (12-11-7) is in 5th in the Eastern Conference—a win at Toyota Stadium would secure their spot in the postseason.

While Orlando is not necessarily a familiar opponent for Dallas, the Lions are led by a familiar face in head coach Oscar Pareja. He both played and coached at FC Dallas, but is now returning to Frisco for the first time since 2020.

The Lions have won seven of their last 10 games, but have never won at Toyota Stadium.

Dallas’ next two are on the road, so a win at home is critical to keep their playoff hopes alive. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
