📋 Team News: FC Dallas

Geovane Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear), Jesús Ferreira (Muscle injury), Marco Farfán (Head injury), Paxton Pomykal (Knee surgery), Asier Illarramendi (Groin injury) and Alan Velasco (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for FC Dallas boss Nico Estévez.

We think that Toros could make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation and select Maarten Paes, Sebastien Ibeagha, Omar Gonzalez, Sam Junqua, Paul Arriola, Patrickson Delgado, Liam Fraser, Dante Sealy, Eugene Ansah, Sebastian Lletget and Petar Musa.

Seattle Sounders FC manager Brian Schmetzer has not got a full squad to pick from. Braudílio Rodrigues (Muscle injury), Léo Chú (Knee injury), Reed Baker-Whiting (Muscle injury) and Pedro de la Vega (Muscle injury) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, The Sounders seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Stefan Frei, Alex Roldan, Yeimar Gomez, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Josh Atencio, Cristian Roldan, Albert Rusnák, Jordan Morris and Raúl Ruidíaz.
