Match Predictions: FC Dallas vs Sporting Kansas City

It's a reserve heavy lineup, but you got to give some guys a rest, right? Here is what we predict for the match.

FC Dallas announced their lineup for tonight’s match against Sporting Kansas City, and yeah, it has some young guys.

Nolan Norris in the midfield? Check.

Collin Smith at right back? Check.

I like it. Play the kids. It’s the mantra. It’s the way.

Also, Jimenez up top? Why not run him around and see if he and Jesus can get something going.

Paes is on the bench, and Geovane Jesus is also available if needed. That’s progress as the guys have been nursing injuries for a bit.

Here are our predictions for this tricky away match against a surging Sporting Kansas City team:

Ismael Belkoura predicts a 2-2 FCD draw, with a brace by Jesus. (But which Jesus?)

Jose Carmona is a risk-taker and looks for a 3-2 FC Dallas win, with Jesus, Velasco, and the legendary own goal scoring. SKC will get a red card in this one.

For me, I’ll go with a 1-1 draw, which FC Dallas will bunker down and take. Jesus Jimenez gets his first for Dallas on a scrappy corner goal.

Let’s do this, Dallas!
