The weekend is here! FC Dallas is back at home for its only home game of the month as they host the Seattle Sounders at Toyota Stadium.
Both teams are coming in off different road results from last weekend. FC Dallas picked up a 1-1 road draw in Atlanta, while the Sounders got blown out in their first trip to San Diego.
Let’s dive into some notes, predictions and more.

Potential Lineup:
Eric Quill could continue to use what has been working for the last three matches, but it makes sense to make a bit of a switch up top with Anderson Julio returning to the lineup.
Paes; Norris, Urhoghide, Ibeagha, Moore; Benetti, Ntsabeleng, Delgado, Acosta, Julio, Musa
