Match Details
- Date: 2025-07-25
- Time: 12:30 AM UTC
- Location: Toyota Stadium, Frisco, Texas
Game Overview
FC Dallas hosts New York City FC in a mid-season MLS clash. Dallas is coming off an emphatic 3-0 win over St. Louis CITY SC, boosting their confidence, while NYCFC is ending a grueling road stretch and recently secured a dramatic late win in Orlando followed by a draw in Kansas City. Both teams have shown resilience, but Dallas's recent home form and NYCFC's road fatigue could be decisive factors.
Key Factors to Consider
- FC Dallas recently secured a convincing 3-0 home win, with Petar Musa in goal-scoring form (11 goals this season). NYCFC, despite a mixed road record, showed spirit with a late win in Orlando and a draw in Kansas City, indicating grit but possible fatigue[3][5]. Dallas has been inconsistent overall (6-10-7, 25 points) but is showing signs of improvement at home.
- No direct head-to-head stats provided in the search results for this specific matchup in 2025. Historical MLS data would be required for deeper trends.
- No specific injury reports found in the search results. However, there is speculation about the status of Dallas's star No. 10, Luciano Acosta, whose availability could impact the game[5].
- The match is played in Frisco, Texas, in late Julyβexpect hot, humid conditions typical for Texas summers, which could affect stamina and pacing. No significant external disruptions (e.g., weather events, protests) reported.
- Dallas is buoyed by a big home win and seeks to build momentum. NYCFC is at the end of a long road trip and may be fatigued, but their recent results suggest they are fighting hard for points on the road[5].
