FC Dallas’ early season road trip concludes tonight in the Mile High City as Eric Quill’s club is getting ready to take on the Colorado Rapids.

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

Quick thoughts

We’re seeing a continuation of what Quill used last week in Houston.

Up top, we’ll see Petar Musa in the lone striker role in Quill’s 4-2-3-1 set up. Behind him will be Anderson Julio on one wing, Pedrinho comes in for Bernard Kamungo on the other, with Lucho Acosta in the attacking midfield role.

Sitting in the middle of the midfield for a second week in a row is Ramiro Benetti and Sebastian Lletget.

Defensively, it is the same group as last weekend with Maarten Paes in goal and a backline in front of him with Marco Farfan, Osaze Urhoghide, Sebastien Ibeagha and Shaq Moore.

Who we could see off the bench

Last week we had four subs come off the bench, I would estimate a similar pattern tonight as FC Dallas will have the fresher legs than the Rapids, who had a Champions Cup match on Tuesday in LA to deal with.

I see Patrickson Delgado getting more minutes in this one, along with Logan Farrington, maybe Lalas Abubakar against his old club, and Kamungo.
