FC Dallas hasn't won at Lumen Field since 2011. Will that change today as they take on the Seattle Sounders?
Both teams have their lineups in, so let’s discuss them ahead of today's match.
Quick thoughts
No Lucho Acosta tonight due to a yellow card suspension. We knew that going into this one.
Thanks to that suspension and all the travel, FC Dallas manager Eric Quill is rotating a good bit of his roster today.
In goal, we'll see Maarten Paes. The defense in front of him will see Sebastien Ibeagha return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Wednesday in New York. He'll be lined up next to Osaze Urhoghide in the middle with Marco Farfan returning to the starting lineup for the first time since earlier this season. Opposite of him will be Lalas Abubakar instead of Shaq Moore on the right wing.
The midfield group of this 4-4-2 (or 4-3-3 depending on how things shake out) has Ramiro in the defensive side, behind Show and Patrickson Delgado, with Pedrinho in for Acosta.
Up top, we'll have the duo of Anderson Julio and Logan Farrington.
Who is on the bench?
As the roster is getting close to full strength again, Quill has plenty of options today. His options off the bench today include Michael Collodi, Shaq Moore, Petar Musa, Alvaro Augusto, Tsiki Ntsabeleng, Nolan Norris, Bernard Kamungo, Diego Garcia and Kaick.
Who we could see off the bench
I know some will instantly worry about no Paxton Pomykal on the bench today, but given the recent workload, this looks like a protect his minutes type of situation. As for who I think will come off the bench today, we'll see Musa, Kaick, Ntsabaleng, and either Norris or Kamungo.
