With a home form that includes one win, two draws, and two losses, they have struggled to assert dominance at Allianz Field, scoring and conceding an average of 1.80 goals.

The clash of styles between Minnesota's attacking strength and Dallas's defensive vulnerabilities might be the pivotal factor.

Key Numbers
