Common opponents: FC Dallas Youth Pre- Bailey — we 2–4; they 0–2. FC Dallas Youth Pre- Vera — we 1–4; they 3–2. SOLAR PRE- KLASSEN — we 0–7; they 0–5. Dallas Texans Pre- Martinez — we 0–0; they 1–3.

• They struggle to score
  Sting Pre- Agbetuyi average 0.8 goals/game (league avg 1.7); blanked in 3 of 5.

  A higher defensive line and an aggressive counter-press are low-risk here. Keep the back line connected to midfield so one long ball doesn't turn into a 1v1 — that is the only way this opponent scores.

• They leak goals — be greedy
  Sting Pre- Agbetuyi concede 3.4/game; worst result 0–5 at SOLAR PRE- KATIC.

  Commit numbers forward, shoot early and often, and attack second balls. Goal difference is the tiebreaker on PPG, so keep playing to score for the full game — rotate players rather than pace.

• Finishing wins the tight ones
  Held scoreless 3 time(s): 0–7 vs SOLAR PRE- KLASSEN, 0–0 at Dallas Texans Pre- Martinez, 0–5 vs Atlético Dallas Youth Pre- Malcolmson.

  Against a low block, the first goal usually comes from a cross or a cut-back, not a dribble. Get 2–3 bodies in the box on every wide entry and finish practice this week at game speed.

• Underdog — play free, stay organised
  Model gives 29%; a draw (20%) would be a good result.

  Keep the shape compact, make them play in front of you, and hit space behind their full-backs on transitions. A point here is a win for the table; a win is a season-changer.

• Away game
  Kickoff 05:00 PM at Fairview Soccer Park .

  Arrive 75 minutes early to see the surface and goal size; plan a longer dynamic warm-up after a drive. Away wins are worth the same 3 points — keep the routine identical to home.

• What a win does
  Sting Pre- Agbetuyi sit 7th on 0.60 PPG; we are on 0.33.

  A point moves us above Sting Pre- Agbetuyi on PPG (if they don't play). GD is the next tiebreak, so every goal matters — keep attacking with a lead.
