FC Dallas punch their ticket into the MLS Cup Playoffs tonight with a return match against last weekend's opponent, 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
There is only one big change to really discuss from last week's lineup, as Ramiro returns to the mix after starting on the bench last weekend. He’ll be in the five-man defensive group that includes Bernard Kamungo, Shaq Moore, Osaze Urhoghide, and Lalas Abubakar.
They’ll be in front of Michael Collodi in goal.
The midfield group sees Kaick, Chris Cappis and Patrickson Delgado again, with Petar Musa and Logan Farrington up top.
Who is on the bench?
The bench has plenty of options for Eric Quill. Anderson Julio, Paxton Pomykal, Pedrinho, Alvaro Augusto, Josh Torquato, Sebastien Ibeagha, Sam Sarver, Enis Sali and Jacob Jackson.
Who should come off the bench?
This is a good game for Julio, Pedrinho and Ibeagha to appear off the bench. Hopefully, we’ll see more of Pomykal and Sarver.
Big question for tonight: Can FC Dallas secure a playoff spot tonight?
All FC Dallas needs to do is win tonight and they're in the playoffs. LA is still missing some key players in the attack, but Dallas cannot play down to their level here like we saw last weekend in Frisco. Let's hope for a faster start this weekend from FC Dallas, and hopefully more history from Musa.
