FC Dallas Home Opener Preview
FC Dallas will return home this Sunday to host Toronto for the back end of their series. FC Dallas started off winless in their first three games but managed toget the 1-1 draw against Toronto last Saturday, a game in which they scored their first point of the season. Dallas has never lost to Toronto at Pizza Hut Park, and they don’t plan on giving them the chance. FC Dallas will also be without goal keeper Daria Sala for 4-6 weeks, due to surgery to repair his ailing left knee. He had 3 saves in the opening loss to Chicago, and remains second place in club history for career shut outs behind Matt Jordan. Ray Burse is the back up goalie in place of Sala and has been doing a great job in his absence, only allowing 4 goals, but the main issue is the offense needs to step up to give Burse support. They have only scored 3 goals this season. Pablo Richetti scored the goal in the game against Toronto and gave them their first point of the season, and his first MLS career goal. Look for him to get the motivation he needs, and look for players like Eric Avila to have a strong home opener. David Ferreira and Kenny Cooper will initiate the attack, and Dax Mccary will be in the midfield. FC Dallas is resting in 8th place 9 points behind Chivas USA. This is their worst start in club History, but scoring a point last week is opening the gate, so expect FC Dallas to come home to Pizza Hut Park and turn this season around.
