FC Dallas wraps up the month of September with another must-win game at home as they host Orlando City SC.

Orlando City SC Head Coach Oscar Pareja will make his second trip back to Frisco, Texas. This one should have a little more fan fare since the last visit was during the COVID shortened season of 2020\. Orlando can clinch a playoff spot with a win ([or a draw and a ton of other scenarios](https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/matchday-35-who-can-clinch-playoffs-or-be-eliminated-x5328?ref=bigdsoccer.com)).

### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas**: Petar Musa - He should be healthy to go from the start in this one after leaving last weekend’s game early with a knee injury. Musa is only a couple of goals away from tying the club’s all-time mark for goals in a single season with 18.

**Last time against Orlando**: We haven’t seen Orlando since the 2022 season when FC Dallas won that late May meeting on the road 3-1.

**All-time record vs Orlando at home**: FC Dallas has an unbeaten home record against the Lions, going 2-0-1\. Dallas' all-time record against Orlando City is 4-1-2.

**Homegrown clock**: In 2024, FC Dallas Homegrowns (Nolan Norris, Dante Sealy, Paxton Pomykal, Jesús Ferreira, Tarik Scott) played a total of 2,233 minutes and made 38 appearances.

**Games missed due to injuries**: The injury watch continues into another season. So far, 146 games have been missed due to injuries this season. Even if you took out the three long-term injuries (Paxton Pomykal, Geovane Jesus and Alan Velasco), FC Dallas would still be at 67 games missed due to injury this season.

**Potential Lineup:**

The big absence this weekend will be Asier Illarramendi, who is suspended on a yellow card accumulation.

Paes; Farfan, Tafari, Ibeagha; Arriola, Delgado, Lletget, Ruan; Ferreira, Velasco, Musa
