FC Dallas vs Colorado Rapids: Lineup notes 📝

FC Dallas looks to lock up the number two seed in the Western Conference playoffs as they host the Colorado Rapids on Decision Day.

Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes off the bench in this one.

What Changed From Last Match

After a lot of rotating in October, Quill has rolled out what appears to be his best or maybe even strongest lineup.

Coming back into the starting group from last week’s draw in KC are Petar Musa, Shaq Moore, Daniel, and Bernard Kamungo.

Logan Farrington returns to the bench after being out for the last few weeks with a foot injury.

Who should come off the bench?

The bench feels fairly stacked here with everyone healthy. I think getting Farrington some minutes late is going to be needed. Outside of that, I would expect to see Santiago Moreno, Ran Binyamin, Chris Cappis and maybe Nolan Norris in this one.

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff

Can FC Dallas go into the playoffs on a high note?

Last week was certainly one to forget for FC Dallas. A loss at home followed by an equally disappointing draw at bottom-tier Sporting KC. This is certainly a game for FC Dallas to redeem themselves after that week. Getting off to a hot start in this one will be critical to calm the nerves and put a end to some doubts that we all have probably been feeling these last few days.
