FC Dallas is back out on the road tonight as they begin their nine-game road trip when they take on the San Jose Earthquakes.

Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes later on in this one.

What Changed From Last Match

As expected, we have several changes to the lineup tonight. Canadian international Jonathan Sirois earns his first FC Dallas start tonight in goal over Michael Collodi.

Outside of that swap, Herman Johansson, Santiago Moreno, Patrickson Delgado and Joaquin Valiente return to the lineup.

Who should come off the bench?

Given the rotation in the lineup, I’d imagine we will see Cappis, Farrington, Sarver and Ibeahga, and Binyamin off the bench in this one.

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff

After the let down on Wednesday, can FC Dallas start the road trip off on the right foot?

This game is certainly going to set the tone for the long road trip. San Jose has been very good this season at home and Dallas hasn’t won there since 2016. If Dallas can find a way to withstand the early pressure, create some solid chances of their own on the counter attack, and limit the defensive mistakes that let them down on Wednesday, they should be able to come out with at least a point tonight.
