05/07/2010 - Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United and FC Dallas, the two last place teams in their respective conferences, square off in a Major League Soccer clash on Saturday night.
While both teams have gotten off to slow starts this season, both are also feeling good after earning mid-week victories.
United (1-5-0) got two goals from forward Danny Allsopp to top the Kansas City Wizards 2-1 at RFK Stadium on Wednesday.
"Obviously it feels great," United coach Curt Onalfo said of his team collecting its first win of the season. "It's just one win but it's certainly an important one. What we've dealt with over five weeks in terms of adversity has been very trying and I commend our group for not letting any negativity enter into our group and understanding along the way what it takes to win games in this league. It takes hard work, it takes sacrifice, it takes playing every play like it's the last. We had a very good, hard-fought, workmanlike effort for 90 minutes and it's really encouraging to get the victory."
United rookie Bill Hamid also stepped in goal and played very well in place of veteran Matt Pickens, who has been disappointing so far this season.
"I thought [Hamid] performed extremely well," Onalfo said. "He's 19-years-old and it's his first MLS game. I think he looked a little bit shaky on a couple of plays but that's normal but he's a gamer and that's the kind of performance he put in during preseason and that's the reason why he's our backup. I'm proud of his performance and I thought he had a really solid game."
Dallas (1-1-4) is also coming off its first win of the season after earning draws in four of its first five league fixtures to start the season. A 1-0 result at Houston while playing down a man is as good as it gets for Dallas faithful.
"I think the team is on the right track and I think it was a heck of an effort [at Houston on Wednesday]," FCD coach Schellas Hyndman told mlssoccer.com. "Maybe I'm a stubborn coach, but I look at that as the level of expectation. You expect your players to work hard, you expect your players to be physical and you expect your players to be courageous."
Ugo Ihemelu scored the game winner with a little over 10 minutes to play when he knocked home a Dax McCarty's free kick. The kick was headed by Brek Shea to Ihemelu, who headed it home from close range.
FC Dallas will be without defender Jair Benitez on Saturday because of the red card he received late in the game on Wednesday. Also out are defender Kyle Davies and midfielder Marvin Chavez with injury issues.
OUnited will be without defenders Marc Burch, Dejan Jakovic and Bryan Namoff, and forward Chris Pontius, while defender Julius James is questionable and defenders Juan Manuel Pena, Barry Rice and Clyde Simms are probable, all with injuries.
