On what some might consider the biggest game in Toyota Stadium history, FC Dallas is set to host Inter Miami in the League’s Cup Round of 161.
The lineups for the two sides are out, so let’s dive into what each team is working with, first with FC Dallas.
Changes from the last match
There are only a few small changes to the lineup, with Marco Farfan and Sebastian Ibeagha returning to the starting lineup after not starting the last game. Farfan returns from a brief hamstring injury that kept him out of the win over Mazatlan.
Alan Velasco is listed in the attack next to Jesus Ferreira, but I would expect him to be a little withdrawn like he’s been in the last couple of games.
Who we could see in the second half
That is a full bench for Nico Estevez to work with tonight. You have attacking options like Paul Arriola, Eugene Ansah, Tsiki Ntsabeleng and Paxton Pomykal. You have defensive players like Jose Martinez, Ema Twumasi and Sam Junqua. Really any of those seven seems like a good option off the bench tonight.
Injury Report
OUT: Tarik Scott (season-ending injury)
