The home finale is nearly here as FC Dallas is getting ready to host the LA Galaxy.
The lineups are in for each side, so let’s dive in to them along with some questions.
The XI + Quick Thoughts
The starting lineup has a pair of changes this week, as Michael Collodi goes back into goal.
The defensive group will see Shaq Moore in the five-man group with Ramiro starting on the bench, Bernard Kamungo will be on the opposite wing. The trio in the middle will likely be Osaze Urhoghide, Lalas Abubakar, and today’s captain, Sebastien Ibeagha.
The midfield will see Kaick, Chris Cappis, and Patrickson Delgado.
The front duo will continue to be Petar Musa and Logan Farrington.
Who is on the bench?
The bench will see Maarten Paes and Paxton Pomykal return for the first time in what feels like ages. They’ll be joined by Deedson, Anderson Julio, Ramiro, Pedrinho, Alvaro Augusto, Josh Torquato and Diego Garcia.
Who should come off the bench?
This one feels like it could be a day we see some Homegrown release on the field with Pomykal getting like 10 minutes. I’d say we’ll get Pedrinho, Ramiro and I’d venture another minute or two from Diego Garcia.
Big question for tonight: Can FC Dallas finish their home slate strong?
They’ve been great getting results in recent weeks but these two against the Galaxy are absolutely massive for the playoff chances. A win here cools off the pressure a bit.
