FC Dallas will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season when they host a Colorado Rapids side seeking their first victory of 2019.


FC Dallas are coming off a 1-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC last weekend at MAPFRE Stadium. The Rapids were two minutes from a win until Johnny Russell’s equalizing free kick in a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City at DICK'S Sporting Goods Park.


In the last meeting at Toyota Stadium, the teams played to a 1-1 draw last April with Cristian Colman scoring the 89th-minute leveler.
