8th in the West FC Dallas (13 points, 3-2-4) travels to the Pacific Northwest to take on 5th in the West Seattle Sounders (16 points, 5-1-1) at Lumen Field with a 9:30 pm CT kickoff.
This is the first of back-to-back road games for FC Dallas, and Dallas has only won a single game in Seattle in the club’s history (1-12-4) on May 25, 2011.

FC Dallas Lineup Prediction
Let’s talk about the Moose in the room: Petar Musa and Logan Farrington are both questionable. Without knowing much about their injuries (lower body, lol) and with Luman Field being turf (oops world cup grass), I’ll put both of them on the bench and go with something a little different in the 3-4-3, and that’s Santiago Moreno at the 9.
Obviously, if 100% healthy, both Musa and Farrington would be high in the selection choices.
Ramiro can go, so I’m putting him back in after he came off the bench Wednesday. I’ll leave on Kaick, who was pretty solid against Minnesota, and give Christian Cappis a rest on the turf as he tries to regain his form after what we think was a couple-week-long knock. Patrickson Delgado comes in to make up the other side of the double-10.
Shaq Moore looked great on the left in the last game alongside Nolan Norris (who also played well).
If this prediction is correct, this is going to look like a lot of 5-4-1 for big chunks of the game.
Bench Prediction

Ran Binyamin
Louicius Deedson
Nick Simmonds
Christian Cappis
Lalas Abubakar
Petar Musa
Logan Farrington
Until they show up at NTSC or FCD, I’m sticking with my theory that Alvaro and Ricky Louis are hurt and being hidden from the report by being assigned to NTSC.

Lordy, that is an awful kit matchup. I really hope it’s wrong.
