FC Dallas vs Los Angeles FC Prediction and Betting Tips

MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as FC Dallas play host to Los Angeles FC at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday. Eric Quill’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last nine home games in the league and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Dallas were denied consecutive victories for the first time since March last time out when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Austin FC at the Q2 Stadium.

However, with that result, Quill’s side are unbeaten in four of their last five games (2W, 2D), having lost the four matches preceding this run.

Dallas have picked up 29 points from their 26 MLS matches so far to sit 11th in the Western Conference table, three points off the playoff places.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles turned in a solid team display last time out when they picked up a 2-0 victory over New England Revolution at the Gillette Stadium.

Steven Cherundolo’s men have gone four back-to-back matches without defeat across all competitions, claiming one draw and three wins, including successive victories over Pachuca and Tigres in the Leagues Cup.

Los Angeles have won 11 of their 24 MLS matches so far while losing six and claiming seven draws to collect 40 points and sit fifth in the West, one point behind fourth-placed Seattle Sounders.
