dailyloe.com – FC Dallas starts a three-game homestand tonight by hosting St. Louis CITY SC in an MLS match. Both teams have submitted their starting lineups. Eric Quill’s starting group for Dallas includes several notable changes from the previous match. The availability of key bench players will be crucial later in the game.
At least one change was forced for FC Dallas due to Bernard Kamungo’s lower leg injury. Kamungo is expected to be out until at least the World Cup break. Deedson enters the lineup for his first start with Dallas. Chris Cappis also rejoins the starting eleven this weekend, replacing Kaick.
The FC Dallas starting formation is a 3-4-3. The starting eleven includes Farrington, Musa, Delgado, Deedson, Ramiro, Cappis, Moore, Norris, Urhoghide, Ibeagha, and Collodi. The goalkeeper is Collodi. The bench features Jonathan Sirois, Lalas Abubakar, Herman Johansson, Joaquin Valiente, Ran Binyamin, Kaick, Sam Sarver, Santiago Moreno, and Nicholas Simmonds.
For the second consecutive week, both Joaquin Valiente and Santiago Moreno begin the match on the bench. Moreno is anticipated to see at least 15 to 20 minutes of action. Valiente could receive around the same or closer to 30 minutes. This match also presents an opportunity for Kaick, Johansson, and possibly Binyamin to earn minutes.
A key question is whether FC Dallas can capitalize on this three-game home stretch starting with St. Louis. This homestand could define what kind of club this FC Dallas group is in 2026. The team is in a good position in the standings currently. Three consecutive home games could propel them further up if results are positive.
St. Louis CITY SC is viewed as a potential trap game similar to last week’s match against D.C. United. The availability report lists no suspended players. Kaka Scabin is on the season-ending injury list with a knee issue. Anderson Julio and Bernard Kamungo are out with lower leg injuries. No players are listed as questionable.
Several players are currently on loan from FC Dallas. Tsiki Ntsabeleng is with Mamelodi Sundowns FC. Enes Sali is at Al-Riyadh. Malachi Molina is with Nashville SC. Geovane Jesus and Enzo Newman are with North Texas SC. Daniel Baran and Jaidyn Contreras are listed as unavailable and off-roster. No players are away on international duty.[]
