FC Dallas returns to league action tonight, as they visit the New York Red Bulls. Dallas has had a brief break thanks to the World Cup and look to shake off a disappointing result a couple weeks ago as they bowed out of the Open Cup.
We’re a bit over the map for this one. The staff aren’t confident about this team grabbing a result on the road here, but stranger things have happened.
The staff are continuing to make picks this season and we’re going with a very simple points system:

Here are our staff predictions against New York Red Bulls:
FCD vs SEA
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
Ben Lyon | Win | 2 | 1 | The smug comments from Sounders fans this week... |
Jack Rous | Win | 2 | 0 | How do they do it? Ricardo Pepi |
Jason Poon | Loss | 0 | 2 | It's been fun but I'm not seeing a way out of Seattle with a win. |
Jeff Loftin | Loss | 1 | 2 | Close loss after controversial play at the other end which mysteriously doesn't get VAR treatment. |
Mohammad Bushnaq | Loss | 1 | 2 | Valiant effort but Dallas falls short in the Pacific NW for their revenge bid. |
Nathan Hill | Draw | 2 | 2 | FC Dallas advance on PKs and claim the Cascadia Cup. Goals from Jara and Pepi. |
Ryan Scanlon | Loss | 1 | 3 | Seattle’s quality and combination play will be too much for FC Dallas which will not let us get away with what we pulled off against Portland. Michael Barrios gives us a glimmer of hope with a goal before Jordan Morris and Nick Lodeiro put this out of reach. |
What do you guys think? Can Dallas get back to their winning ways or is this the beginning of the inevitable summer swoon that continually befalls this club?
