FC Dallas vs LAFC: Lineup notes 📝
Petar Musa starts on the bench tonight.
It is game day again in Frisco, as FC Dallas is getting ready to host the star-studded LAFC squad.
The lineups are in for each side, so let’s dive in to them along with some questions.
The XI + Quick Thoughts
Let’s get to it off the bat, Petar Musa starts on the bench after leaving last week’s game against Austin. So, we’re going to see a bit more of a defensive group to say the least tonight out there.
Also, Osaze Urhoghide is out completely tonight. The club has told me that he woke up with tightness in his hamstring and was not going to be able to go tonight.
The club is calling this a 4-2-3-1 tonight, the lineup card above shows more of a 4-3-3. I’d say we’ll see some combination of both.
Michael Collodi in goal for a third straight game, in front of him we’ll see Lalas Abubakar and Sebastien Ibeagha in the middle, with Shaq Moore and Bernard Kamungo on the wings.
The midfield will have Ramiro and Kaick in the defensive side of things. Chris Cappis and Patrickson Delgado will be in support of the attacking group that sees Anderson Julio and Logan Farrington.
Who is on the bench?
We discussed Musa, with him is Deedson, Sebastian Lletget, Pedrinho, Alvaro Augusto, Sam Sarver, Josh Torquato, Nolan Norris and Jacob Jackson.
Who should come off the bench?
Let’s hope we see Musa tonight. I’d assume we’ll get a combination of him, Deedson, Lletget and Norris.
Big question for tonight: Can FC Dallas generate enough chances?
FC Dallas has been good at home over the years against LAFC, but we all know how the home form has been this season for Eric Quill’s club with several losses piled up. It has been better lately and the team has picked up six points in two of their last three games at Toyota Stadium. They’ll need a big performance tonight to add to that tally and stay in the playoff race.
