FC Dallas hosts its final home game before a nine-game road trip tonight when they take on the Vancouver Whitecaps.

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 later on in this one.

What Changed From Last Match

We have three changes tonight from the last two games. Sebastien Ibeagha, Logan Farrington and Chris Cappis rejoin the lineup, with Santiago Moreno, Joaquin Valiente and Herman Johansson moving to the bench tonight.

Bench

  • Jonathan Sirois GK
  • Lalas Abubakar DF
  • Sam Sarver DF
  • Herman JohanssonDF
  • Joaquin Valiente MF
  • Patrickson Delgado MF
  • Caleb Swann MF
  • Nicholas Simmonds FW
  • Santiago Moreno FW

Who should come off the bench?

Given the rotation in the lineup tonight and the game this weekend in San Jose, it stands to reason that we’ll see five subs off the bench in this one. I’d put Johansson, Sarver, Moreno, Valiente and possibly another appearance from Swann or Simmonds as the five that come off the bench.

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff

Can Dallas make it three in a row before going on the road for three and a half months?

This one is massive. Sure, going to Supporters’ Shield leaders San Jose this weekend is also big, this one hits harder. Dallas is about to be on the road for a long time, so getting points at home are vital. Vancouver is coming in during the middle of a long road trip of their own, are looking banged up at the moment and could be ripe for the picking.
