FC Dallas looks to rebound in the middle game of a three-game home stand Saturday night when they host San Diego FC for the first time.
Both teams had to deal with the midweek matchday, with Dallas losing 4-2 to San Jose and San Diego finding a 5-3 win in Vancouver.
Let’s dive into some notes, predictions and more.
