The Sounders will be playing at FC Dallas on Saturday. We asked Drew Epperley of BigDSoccer to give us a quick scouting report.
Dallas’ form
Unbeaten in three games. Still struggling to find themselves in good form at home this year, only one win in three games at Toyota Stadium.
Key players
Both DPs, Lucho Acosta and Petar Musa. But don’t sleep on newcomer Osaze Urhoghide either. He’s made an immediate impact in improving the Dallas defense this season. Eric Quill calls him ‘Pogba-light’ with how he gets up the field at times.
One thing to know
I hate repeating it (because folks around the league seem to forget quickly) but the stadium is under construction for the next couple of years, so expect to see a half-full venue on Saturday.
Notable injuries
Pomykal is still out until likely next month. Farfan is out through May following a recent surgery.
Projected Dallas lineup
(4-4-2 w/ midfield diamond): Paes; Norris, Urhoghide, Ibeagha, Moore; Ramiro, Delgado, Lleget; Acosta, Chu, Musa
