FC Dallas vs New York Red Bulls: Lineup notes 📝

FC Dallas is on the road again tonight as they are in the Big Apple to take on the New York Red Bulls.

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

After a heavy rotation last weekend, Quill has made several changes. Petar Musa returns to the lineup following being out last weekend with a minor knock. Logan Farrington is also on the bench.

Osaze Urhoghide, Herman Johansson, Kaick and Joaquín Valiente rotate back into the lineup.

Ramiro is an interesting one at the left wing, which could be an interesting experiment for the veteran midfielder. I wonder if we’re really going to see Ran Binyamin more on the wings, instead.

Who should come off the bench?

Given who all is healthy and available, it seems like we’ll see some rotating in the second half with Cappis, Delgado, and Farrington as good options. Outside of those three, Simmonds and Ibeagha could be additional options late in the game.

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff

Can FC Dallas find a rare positive result at Sports Illustrated Stadium?

If this group is going to turn the corner here on their issues this spring, this is the game to do it. New York has been giving up loads of goals this season, and if the preseason meeting can be considered a preview, Dallas should have no problem figuring out how to put a few on this team.
