Preview: Is there anyone capable of reeling in Los Angeles FC? That, in itself, is a frightening thought, as in a few weeks time they will only become stronger with the imminent arrivals of Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale. In that respect then, FC Dallas are probably visiting Banc of California Stadium at the right time.

Los Angeles – Black and Gold beating all comers?

LAFC have been the best team in MLS all year and this was in evidence Sunday, condemning a New York Red Bulls outfit riding high in second place in the Eastern Conference to a 2-0 loss at Ban of California Stadium. The performance may not have been vintage – both goals came within the span of three second-half minutes – but stretched the Los Angeles-based side’s lead in the Supporters Shield race to four.

So, having eased to victory over the current third best team in the East, LAFC now welcome the fourth best in the West. LAFC are difficult to contain on their own patch, too, winning the last two such matches (3-2 vs San Jose Earthquakes, 2-0 vs NYRB) and going W6 D2 L1 for the season. Moreover, Steve Cherundolo’s men are yet to misfire in a home game, netting in all nine thus far and at least twice seven times.

Key Stat: LAFC love nothing more than to slug it out with opponents at the Banc of California Stadium. Six of nine MLS home games for Los Angeles FC saw both teams score, the hosts prevailing fifty per cent of the time in these games (W3 D2 L1).

Dallas – Texans short on momentum?

Few teams deal in late drama more so than FC Dallas. Prior to making the relatively short trip to Texan counterparts Austin FC on Saturday, The Toros (FC Dallas) had witnessed a goal beyond the 80th minute mark in six of fifteen league outings. Well, ruefully, this became seven last time out. Dallas letting slip a two goal lead to draw 2-2 at Q2 Stadium, with all four goals coming during a frantic second period.

Following that result, Coach Nico Estevez must have spent most of the night pondering how his side didn’t win. Dallas carved out plenty of solid openings, creating four chances deemed ‘Big’ according to Infogol to the one of Austin, but failed to win for the fourth game in five (D1 L3). Form which has seen them slip down to fourth in the West, trailing LAFC – for whom they’ve never beaten on the road (D1 L2) – by seven.

Key Stat: Last Saturday’s 2-2 scoreline away from home versus Austin FC means FC Dallas have lost one away MLS game in seven (W2 D3) since a 1-0 reverse to New England in their opening away encounter of the 2022 campaign.

  • LAFC sit atop the Western Conference on 33 points (W10 D3 L3 for the season) and currently lead the way in the race to be crowned Supporters Shield winners (highest finishing team in the league when combining both conferences).
  • LAFC also boast superior form, with three wins and no defeats in four. Conversely, Dallas – who sit fourth in the same conference on 26 points – have lost three of their last five (W1 D1).

However, Dallas would score in their past five away games though, while LAFC would concede in six of nine at home.
