Dallas vs Los Angeles FC Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd September 2024

Dallas will play host to Los Angeles FC at Toyota Stadium in Major League Soccer action on Sunday. Both teams are enduring a winless run as we enter the final curve of the campaign.

Dallas vs Los Angeles FC Preview

The hosts are winless in their last three matches, drawing once and losing twice. FC Dallas have won nine times in 20 matches, drawing seven and losing 13, which leaves them in 11th place in the Western Conference on 34 points. They are, however, eying qualification for the playoffs via the wild-card round.

Toros made it to the playoffs last term but were eliminated in the first round. The 2010 MLS Cup runners-up are in search of their first top-flight title but the prospects in this campaign are very slim. Dallas, however, have proved competitive at home, winning thrice in their last five matches at the Toyota Stadium.

Los Angeles FC sit third in the Western Conference with 49 points, trailing the leaders by six points and second-placed Real Salt Lake by one point. The visitors are aiming to snatch the top spot before the curtain comes down. With five rounds of matches to spare, it is quite achievable, but only if they avoid dropping points.

The Black and Gold, who won the MLS Cup in 2022, came close to defending their title with success last season. They finished as runners-up behind playoff winners Columbus Crew. Los Angeles FC are expected to be strong contenders for the title once again, in their quest for a second MLS Cup.
