FC Dallas is finally home tonight as they kick off their home slate of games against Brimstone Cup rivals, Chicago Fire.

Both teams have their lineups in, so let’s discuss them ahead of tonight’s match.

Quick thoughts

Only one change from last week’s draw in Colorado as Logan Farrington earns a spot over Pedrinho, Leo Chu and Bernard Kamungo.

Farrington will be in the attack opposite of Anderson Julio on the wing, with Lucho Acosta sitting underneath Petar Musa.

In the midfield, Sebastien Lletget and Ramiro Benetti sit in the holding block. While, the defense four continues to be Marco Farfan, Osaze Urhoghide, Sebastien Ibeagha and Shaq Moore. They’ll all line up in front of Maarten Paes in goal.

Who we could see off the bench

Last week we only saw three subs off the bench, so maybe a slight change tonight at home? I feel we'll continue to see a rotation along the wings with Chu, Kamungo or Pedrinho coming in at some point in the second half. Let's also not sleep on seeing someone like Patrickson Delgado or Tsiki Ntsabeleng coming off the bench in this one as well.
