After three weeks on the road in league play, FC Dallas returns home for a two-game home stand, beginning this weekend against Real Salt Lake. FC Dallas is attempting to recover from a humiliating defeat in San Diego last weekend, while RSL hopes to bounce from a loss to Vancouver. Let’s go into some notes, projections, and more.

FC Dallas’ key player is Petar Musa. If he is fit enough to play in this one, we should see him bring out the best in Lucho Acosta as well. That has been missing for the past month in the Dallas attack. FC Dallas has an all-time home record of 24-15-12 against Real Salt Lake, with a 14-2-7 record at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas has outscored Salt Lake 78 to 62 in regular season action. Homegrown clock: FC Dallas is beginning to accumulate Homegrown minutes this season. Michael Collodi received a start in Salt Lake a few weeks back, and Nolan Norris has now had three consecutive starts with Marco Farfan out due to an injury. All together they’ve accounted for 475 minutes this season.

Notable season statistics:

Anderson Julio, Tani Oluwaseyi, and Anders Dreyer have the most counterattack goals in MLS, each with two. Osaze Urhoghide is third in MLS in aerial challenges won, with 36. Urhoghide is tied for second place in goals scored from free kicks, with one. Urhoghide is tied for first in MLS for aerial challenges won without ball control, with 30. Shaq Moore is tied for 11th in MLS in clearances, with 19.

Potential lineup:

On Wednesday night, Quill fielded a rather formidable side in the US Open Cup. He’ll be missing Ramiro for this one, so Show may return to the starting lineup. Paes; Norris, Urhoghide, Abubakar, Moore; Show, Kaick, Delgado, Acosta, Julio, and Musa
