Crew SC has a chance to go into the upcoming international break sitting pretty as they could finish up August with their third straight result. FC Dallas is looking to desperately stop a five game winless slide.
Both teams will be fatigued. Crew SC played LA midweek after a trip to Orlando. FC Dallas lost in Kansas City, then tied midweek at home to Houston. There will be some heavy legs.
Gregg Berhalter will have to balance a team where some pieces are coming back from injury and some have played extensively. He turned to the 4-2-3-1 with Federico Higuain back and may do so again tonight as the playmaker is getting back to full fitness.
