Matchday 2: FC Dallas vs Portland Timbers

FC Dallas takes on their first Western Conference foe of the year as Portland Timbers come to Frisco in a clash of two teams who both won on the first matchday. The weather is looking absolutely perfect, if not a little muggy, and this is your last Saturday night home game for a month so fire up the grill and get to the stadium early for some tailgating. You know the drill, team news, keys to the game, links, referee, prediction. Matchday 2, here we go, kickoff is at 7:30 and the game is broadcast on FSSW+

Team News

Injury troubles No Shea, no Ferreira, no Castillo...that is the reality of the situation for tonight's lineup. For FC Dallas, look for a first ever start for Andrew Wiedeman on the right while Carlos Rodriguez starts on the left. Ricardo Villar is a gametime decision and while I expect him to start, don't be shocked if he doesn't go 90. Options in his place would be Bruno Guarda or going to a 4-4-2. Also, look out for the secret weapon AKA Bryan Leyva
