Team News: FC Dallas
Paxton Pomykal (Knee bruise), Osaze Urhoghide (Calf injury), Enzo Newman (Cruciate ligament tear), Herbert Endeley (Cruciate ligament tear) and Geovane Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for FC Dallas gaffer Eric Quill.
It’s our opinion that Toros should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Maarten Paes, Shaq Moore, Alvaro Augusto, Sebastien Ibeagha, Marco Farfan, Sebastian Lletget, Patrickson Delgado, Pedrinho, Luciano Acosta, Anderson Julio and Petar Musa.
🗞️
Team News: San Jose Earthquakes
San Jose Earthquakes boss Bruce Arena has to currently contend with reduced team options. Niko Tsakiris (Leg injury), Noel Buck (Leg injury) and Bruno Wilson (Leg injury) are not able to play.
We are inclined to think that Quakes could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup using Daniel, Rodrigues, David Romney, Daniel Munie, DeJuan Jones, Beau Leroux, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Vitor Costa, Cristian Espinoza, Cristian Arango and Amahl Pellegrino.
💭
Prediction
San Jose Earthquakes may well find it hard to find the back of the net against a FC Dallas lineup who look set to control this match, should everything go as we’re expecting.
We think that it’s going to be a very comprehensive 3-0 winning margin for FC Dallas when all is said and done.
