Los Angeles Galaxy at FC Dallas 7/24/21 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Dallas lost another match on the road but they will now return home for their next assignment, where they will play host to the LA Galaxy on Saturday. The LA Galaxy are coming off a draw at Salt Lake and will now play their third consecutive match on the road.

Dallas (2-7-5) are coming off a mediocre performance on the road against Colorado, where the two teams entered the half-time break tied at 0-0. However, Colorado scored two quick goals at the start of the second half, forcing Dallas to a 2-0 loss. That was the third consecutive loss for Dallas, who are now win-less in their last 4 (0-3-1). They are still stuck at the bottom of the Western Conference with 11 points, scoring just 14 goals and conceding 23 so far. Despite their struggles on the road, Dallas have yet to lose at home (2-0-5), scoring 12 and conceding 8 goals in the process.

The LA Galaxy (8-5-1) conceded two early goals in their away match against Real Salt Lake but managed to pull back even with goals at the 33rd and 77th minute for the final 2-2 draw. That means that they have now won just 1 of their last 4 (1-2-1), while failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 7. The LA Galaxy are sitting at the 3rd spot of the Western Conference with 25 points, scoring 23 and conceding 22 goals so far, which is the 2nd worst defense in the Conference. Moreover, they have the 2nd best away record in the Conference (3-3-1), scoring 11 and conceding 14 goals.

The LA Galaxy beat Dallas by 3-1 at home earlier in the season, while the two teams exchanged home wins when they last met in 2019. Dallas have won each of the last 4 matches as hosts against the Galaxy and have only lost 1 of their last 9 against them in this venue (7-1-1). Taking the Over 3 Goals here, in a match that should have goals from both sides.
