Galaxy fight for rhythm as Dallas defend European spot
Los Angeles Galaxy aim to narrow an eight-point gap to the European places while FC Dallas fight to consolidate their top-six standing.
Los Angeles Galaxy sit 11th on 21 points and have struggled for momentum since the league restart. Greg Vanney’s side followed back-to-back home defeats against St. Louis City and rivals LAFC with a 1-1 draw against San Jose Earthquakes last time out. Despite Vanney’s attacking philosophy, the Galaxy have been plagued by defensive frailties, shipping seven goals in their last three outings.
FC Dallas occupy 6th place with 26 points but are also searching for their first victory since the break. Following a high-scoring 2-2 draw with Portland, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat away to San Diego. However, their pre-break form was strong, including consecutive away wins against Colorado Rapids and San Jose, proving they can produce results on the road.
- Los Angeles Galaxy have managed just two victories in nine home matches at Dignity Health Sports Park this season.
- Petar Musa is proving a constant threat for Dallas, averaging 4.12 shots per 90 minutes.
- The Galaxy have conceded two or more goals in two of their last three fixtures since the World Cup break.
- FC Dallas have secured six points from their last four away league matches.
