๐ฐ Team News: FC Dallas
The FC Dallas manager Nico Estรฉvez has no fitness worries at all ahead of this match with a completely healthy squad available to select from.
We think that Toros will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this one, beginning the first half with Maarten Paes, Ema Twumasi, Jose Martinez, Nkosi Tafari, Marco Farfan, Paxton Pomykal, Edwin Cerrillo, Sebastian Lletget, Paul Arriola, Jesus Ferreira and Alan Velasco.

Weโre of the thinking that SKC will likely play in a 4-3-3 formation using John Pulskamp, Graham Zusi, Robert Voloder, Andreu Fontas, Ben Sweat, Roger Espinoza, Remi Walter, Erik Thommy, Khiry Shelton, William Agada and Daniel Salloi.
โก Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Sporting Kansas City will have to play well to put one past this FC Dallas team who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
Weโre therefore expecting a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for FC Dallas at the end of the 90 minutes.
A close call.
