FRISCO - It’s a Canada Day showdown as Toronto FC visits Frisco for the lone meeting between the two clubs this season. Oscar Pareja is going all-out for tonight’s meeting against the Eastern Conference leaders.
4-2-3-1
For the third straight match, Mauro Diaz is in the starting lineup and Dallas will take their standard 4-2-3-1 formation. It is the first time that Pareja has sent out the same formation in three consecutive matches since March 15-April 4 - using a 4-4-2 for two CCL tilts against Pachuca and the home opener against New England.
Back Line Shuffle
Atiba Harris will move back into the middle alongside Maynor Figueroa, with Ryan Hollingshead getting his first MLS start of 2017 on the left and Hernan Grana on the right. Figueroa was supposed to leave for Gold Cup duty with Kellyn Acosta and Matt Hedges, but elected to stay through tonight’s match and join Honduras tomorrow.
Streaking
FC Dallas is unbeaten in all competitions when Maxi Urruti scores or picks up an assist in a match since the striker joined the club ahead of last season (17-0-6). Similarly, Dallas is unbeaten in 19 straight matches when Mauro Diaz scores or assists in a match (18-0-1), breaking an 18-match winning streak in last week’s 1-1 draw in Houston.
