FC Dallas look to extend their unbeaten away record when they visit San Diego FC on Saturday.

The Toros (4-3-3, 15 points) are one of four MLS teams that have yet to lose on the road this season, with a 3-0-3 record over six away matches. It marks the first time in club history that Dallas has gone without a loss in its first six road matches of a season.

The streak looked to be finished last Sunday, when Inter Miami held a 3-1 lead over Dallas through 63 minutes. However, the Toros proceeded to score three unanswered goals for the 4-3 comeback victory, handing the previously unbeaten Herons their first loss of the season.

While Lionel Messi and several other Inter Miami stars were out of the lineup and being rested for the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal, Dallas coach Eric Quill noted that “this is a quality Miami team, even missing those pieces.”

“I hope it gives us confidence to believe we can play with anybody. … We had a bright start, and then we fell apart, and we regained ourselves, but never stopped believing,” Quill said.

As Dallas has been rolling on the road, San Diego FC (4-4-2, 14 points) is coming off the first home loss in the expansion side’s short franchise history. San Diego fell behind on two second-half concessions in last Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, extending its losing streak to three matches.

“We’re a good team that’s losing games right now,” San Diego head coach Mikey Varas said. “We believe 110 percent in the guys that we have in our locker room. … We’re in our first kind of dip. But once that happens, we’re going to be a team that wins more often than doesn’t.”

Striker Anders Dreyer leads San Diego in goals (three) and goal contributions (six).

Petar Musa leads Dallas with six goal contributions (three goals, three assists) but the forward has been dealing with an ankle injury that caused him to miss the past two matches. He was upgraded to questionable on Friday, opening the door for a return Saturday.
