Here are Colin’s keys for Sunday’s road match at FC Dallas.

Break lines between centre backs and fullbacks

This is an area where FC Dallas have shown some vulnerability.

The ‘Caps will want to make the Dallas back four face their own goal, and then get crosses in.

This is something that can be a real area of strength for this ‘Caps side.

Build momentum

Speaking of this, the ‘Caps put in a very strong performance versus the Sounders.

They need to continue to be aggressive going forward, which they did in the second half against LA Galaxy two matches ago, and then continued into last weekend’s result in Seattle.

Now they need to continue to do that and build the momentum.

Score in the first half

I haven’t brought it up yet, but it’s important for the ‘Caps to break this unusual streak and score in the first half.

They came close against Seattle, so they need to continue to be aggressive to take the lead rather than play from behind.

This will also be Lucas Cavallini’s last match before joining Canada for the Gold Cup. Can he add another goal before he leaves?
