Probable Lineups
Missing Players
Team News
FC Dallas
- Rookie defender Walker Zimmerman should keep his place in the FC Dallas line-up after returning from a hamstring injury to start against Philadelphia on Saturday.
- Blas Perez is the only FC Dallas player involved in the upcoming Gold Cup campaign, joining up with the Panama national team this week.
CD Chivas USA
- Interim head coach Sacha van der Most is expected to stick with the 4-1-4-1 formation that he has used on the road in MLS, using Julio Correa as the lone front man.
- Steve Purdy is the only Chivas USA player unavailable for selection due to the Gold Cup having been called up to the El Salvador national team.
Prediction
- A relatively poor run of form has seen FC Dallas slip down the Western Conference, and they are without a win in their last four MLS outings, drawing three and losing one. The Texans will be looking to rack up the points against the West's bottom side.
- Despite a change of manager Chivas USA are still slumped at the foot of the Western Conference, without a win in their last 11 league fixtures. Their backline has conceded 20 goals in their last eight games, although having let in just two goals in their last two outings their defensive record has improved slightly.
- Despite an improved defensive record Chivas USA are still struggling to find any sort of form in front of goal, making FC Dallas firm favourites to end their winless streak.
