FC Dallas wraps up their road schedule for the 2026 season today when they take on Sporting Kansas City in a rare Halloween Day game. 

Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes off the bench in this one. 

## What Changed From Last Match

This is the third game in seven days, so a rotation was expected. 

The big one off the bat is no Petar Musa in the starting lineup. Had Logan Farrington been healthy enough, we would have seen him in the lone striker spot; instead we get Santiago Moreno.

The other changes from Wednesday night’s group sees Daniel Job, Joaquin Valiente, Kaick, Sebastien Ibeagha and Lalas Abubakar return to the lineup. 

And in goal, Jonathan Sirois gets his first start in a few weeks, as he gives Daniel a bit of a breather before the playoffs.

### Who should come off the bench?

Yeah, we should expect to see Musa off the bench. I’d expect Sarver, Kamungo, Cappis and Delgado to join him. 

### **Key Question Heading Into Kickoff**

*Can FC Dallas respond after a lackluster Wednesday night?* 

Wednesday’s loss to Columbus should serve as an eye-opener for FC Dallas. Too many missed opportunities, some poor officiating, and all that jazz. Sporting is now the worst defense in league history (in terms of goals given up in a single season). Dallas already knows well how they can break down this defense. With Musa in the hunt for the Golden Boot, this is the perfect game for him to get in proper playoff form.
