LA Galaxy take on FC Dallas on Wednesday

Two Eastern Conference teams in the MLS go toe-to-toe on Wednesday as LA Galaxy take on FC Dallas at the Dignity Health Tennis Center Stadium.

The hosts head into the game off the back of a 2-0 defeat against Sporting Kansas City, while the visitors played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps.

LA Galaxy failed in their bid to make it three straight wins last time out as they were beaten 2-0 by Sporting Kansas City.

After a goalless first half, Sporting Kansas City upped the ante and scored two second-half goals through Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton.

Greg Vanney's men have been in inconsistent form in recent weeks, picking up three wins and losing three games in their last six outings.

However, they sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference table, level on 21 points with Orlando City.

Meanwhile, FC Dallas held Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-2 draw on home turf last time out.

After the Whitecaps cruised to a 2-1 first-half lead, defender Ranko Vaselinovic scored a 94th-minute own goal to force a share of the spoils.

Prior to that, FC Dallas claimed a shock 2-1 victory over league leaders New England Revolution to snap their six-game winless run.

With four points from their last two games, Luchi Gonzalez's side have now leapfrogged Vancouver Whitecaps to rise away from the bottom of the table.
