FC Dallas Lineup Prediction
Head Coach Eric Quill probably saw some of his best play in a month with the 4-2-3-1 in the first half against Houston. With the play spread wide, Dallas looked better than in a while, and Lucho Acosta looked more engaged.
So run out the same team with the addition of Maarten Paes.
Obviously, that should be Anderson Julio at left wing..
Bench Prediction
