FC Dallas has dropped two straight home games after a solid start away from home in the opening two weeks of the season. This weekend they are back on the road as they take on Real Salt Lake.

RSL is coming off a big win last weekend in Houston and looks to make it two-for-two against Texan clubs in March.

FC Dallas Notes:

Key player for FC Dallas: Osaze Urhoghide - The new Dallas center back (along with Sebastien Ibeagha) will need to protect their keeper this weekend with Maarten Paes out on international duty. Having a young Homegrown keeper earning his first start on the road could be tough, but with a big game from the Dallas center backs, it could go a long way in earning points.

Last time against RSL: The last trip to Utah didn't work out well for FCD, as both teams were battling for playoff positioning last September when they met in Utah. RSL came away with a 3-2 win in that match.

All-time against RSL: FC Dallas holds the all-time series edge against RSL, with a 23-15-12 record. They also have a 9-13-6 record in Salt Lake.

Dried up set pieces: Through four games, FC Dallas has yet to score a goal off a set piece.

Homegrown clock: For the first time in a number of years, FC Dallas has yet to use a Homegrown player this season. That will change tonight as one of the two Homegrown keepers (Antonio Carerra or Michael Collodi) will make their debuts.

Potential Lineup:

Eric Quill will likely continue to rotate his winger set up in the attack, as Anderson Julio is out for a second week to obtain his green card. We'll likely see Michael Collodi earn his first start in goal with Paes out, as he appears to be the main backup right now.

Collodi; Farfan, Urhoghide, Ibeagha, Moore; Benetti, Lletget, Pedrinho; Acosta, Farrington, Musa
