FC Dallas looks to enhance the best record in MLS and the Portland Timbers try to solidify their spot above the red line in a crucial match Saturday at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.Dallas (14-7-6, 48 points) will keep the best record in MLS regardless of the outcome. It stands four points ahead of New York City FC in the Supporters Shield race.But a win at home on Saturday will certainly help its cause. Dallas ended a brief two-game winless streak with a 3-1 win at Houston last Saturday.Portland (9-10-8, 35 points) is in sixth in the Western Conference. The Timbers are one point ahead of the San Jose Earthquakes and the Seattle Sounders, and both of those clubs have a game in hand. A win on the road would give Portland some room to breathe.FC Dallas has won both meetings thus far this season, 3-1 on April 13 in Portland and 2-1 on May 11 in Dallas. The match in April was the first time FC Dallas had ever won in Portland (1-4-2).Conversely, FC Dallas has tasted mostly success against Portland at home. Portland has won only once in seven visits to Toyota Stadium.FC Dallas has a little bit of revenge on its mind after the Timbers eliminated Dallas from the MLS playoffs last season on their way to the MLS Cup. Portland won 3-1 at Providence Park in the first leg before drawing 2-2 in the return match.Both clubs will be short-handed because of international call-ups. Dallas will be without Kellyn Acosta (USA), Tesho Akindele (Canada), Aubrey David (Trinidad & Tobago), Carlos Gruezo (Ecuador) and Maynor Figueroa (Honduras). Portland will be down Darlington Nagbe (USA) and Alvas Powell and Jermaine Taylor (Jamaica). Khris Middleton Jersey .
