Dallas puts road unbeaten run on line at Toronto

Soccer Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas has not lost on the road since April and puts its six-match road undefeated streak on the line Saturday at Toronto FC, which is one of three Major League Soccer teams still unbeaten at home.

FC Dallas (6-2-7) lost to Red Bull New York in mid-April, but has two wins and four draws in its last six road matches. Dallas won at Houston and Chivas USA, and has scored in every road game this season.

Coach Schellas Hyndman's club managed just eight points on the road last year, but already has 10 points away from home. Dallas doesn't have a magic formula, according to Hyndman, but the club does try to take the home side out of their "comfort zone."

"We go after teams and take away that home field [advantage], that comfort zone," Hyndman said. "It seems to be working."

"We know if we play our game in our system, teams are going to have to adjust to us if we stick to what we do well," Dallas defender Heath Pearce said. "I think we've implemented that well on the road."

Although Toronto (6-5-4) is unbeaten in eight home matches, Dallas has managed to get results in its previous visits to Toronto. Dallas is 1-1-1 at BMO Field in its history.

Dallas enters the match after an impressive 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, which snapped the defending MLS Cup champions' 10-match undefeated streak. Brek Shea and Atiba Harris scored for Dallas.

Hyndman will be forced to make a minor change this week, as Bruno Guardo will likely make his second start of the season for the injured Dax McCarty.

"He's just a guy that we have a lot of confidence in and he knows the system well," McCarty said of Guarda. "He knows what Schellas wants out of him and he has the trust of everyone."

The Los Angeles Galaxy preserved their undefeated home mark with a 2-2 draw on Thursday against the San Jose Earthquakes, and Real Salt Lake is also unbeaten at home.

Toronto had its eight-match unbeaten streak snapped last weekend in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union, as Sebastian Le Toux converted a penalty in injury time.

TFC played England's Bolton on Wednesday, falling 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie. Toronto FC debuted its recent signing, Spanish striker Mista, against Bolton and he's set to make his MLS debut against Dallas. Mista, a Designated Player, assisted on Toronto's goal against Bolton.

Toronto is third in the Eastern Conference and Dallas is third in the Western Conference, making a result this weekend crucial as both teams enter the start half of their schedules.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
