FC Dallas host Seattle Sounders at Toyota Stadium on Wednesday, October 14 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).
FC Dallas have no fresh injury or suspension concerns to work through, so Petar Musa — their top scorer with 19 goals from 80 shots — should lead the line again, with Logan Farrington’s 10 goals providing another scoring outlet and Santiago Moreno pulling strings in behind. Seattle Sounders are similarly unaffected by absences, meaning Albert Rusnák, who has created 71 chances this season, Paul Rothrock and Cristian Roldán should all feature in a Sounders midfield group built to control the ball.
Toyota Stadium hosts a Western Conference clash with real postseason stakes, even if the two sides sit in different parts of the picture. FC Dallas arrive third in the West on 47 points, well positioned for the playoffs, while Seattle sit seventh on 41 points, still inside the mix but with less margin for error. Dallas have found enough edge in front of goal to see off the teams around them, and with Seattle just as capable of scoring at the other end, this one should produce goals at both ends before Dallas’s extra firepower proves decisive.
