FC Dallas Lineup Prediction
With no mid-week game leading into this one, Coach Eric Quill can go with his own best XI. Any bad showing at Vancouver likely gets discounted cause of the heavy rotation so we look back to the win at Real Salt Lake for inspiration.
Which gives us the obvious choices below.
Bench Prediction
Michael Collodi
Sebastien Ibeagha
Ricky Louis
Clay Holstad
Ran Binyamin
Sam Sarver
Christian Cappis
