It has been a sensational season to this point for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The Canadian side require just a point to secure top spot in the Western Conference, and they will be a major contender in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Vancouver have recorded wins in their last three across all competitions.
That includes a recent 2-1 win on the road against Orlando. Nelson Pierre and Thomas Müller scored the goals in the success.
All of the pressure this weekend will be on FC Dallas. The visitors sit eighth in the Western Conference standings, and require a victory to remain in the fight for a playoff finish.
A defeat could open an opportunity for the Colorado Rapids to leapfrog them on the final day. Dallas' fight for a playoff spot has gone to the final day after a shock defeat against the LA Galaxy last weekend.
Logan Farrington was sent off in the loss, and will be suspended on Saturday.

All of the pressure will be on FC Dallas this weekend, as they could yet drop out of the playoff places altogether on the final day.
