FC Dallas vs Houston Dynamo: Lineup notes 📝
FC Dallas looks to go for their first road win of the year tonight.
The second leg of the Texas Derby is here! FC Dallas has traveled south to take on the Houston Dynamo.
Both clubs have their lineups in, so let’s break them down.
Quick thoughts
Given the injury situation going into this game, we knew this lineup would look a little different tonight. Head coach Nico Estevez had to really shift things around given his lack of options available in the midfield.
We will still see Ema Twumasi and Marco Farfan on the wings but in the middle will be a new pairing as Patrickson Delgado makes another start, this time next to Nolan Norris who is making his first start of the year in an FC Dallas uniform.
Up top will see Petar Musa joined by Bernard Kamungo and Jesus Ferreira.
Defensively, things remain the same with Maarten Paes in goal. The trio in front of Paes continues to be Sebastien Ibeagha, Nkosi Tafari and Sam Junqua.
Who we could see in the second half
Some may be surprised not to see Sebastian Lletget in the lineup but I’m told he’s likely only going to get around 20-30 minutes in this one off the bench.
Logan Farrington will also see some minutes in this one. Tsiki Ntsabeleng is likely another option as well that will be a headache for Houston to deal with off the bench late in the game.
