We have plenty of fixtures to look forward to in Major League Soccer this weekend including the meeting between Los Angeles FC and FC Dallas.
The game will be played on the 26th of March at the Gibbo Stadium and the hosts are currently in 2nd place on 7 points while the visitors are in 4th place on the same number of points.
Los Angeles FC come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw at Seattle Sounders last weekend. It was a decent point away from home but Los Angeles FC would have been hoping to take maximum points against a team who finished 11th in the Western Conference last season.
That result means Los Angeles FC are undefeated in their 3 MLS fixtures this season. There have been wins over Portland Timbers and New England Revolution, with both matches being played at home.
Los Angeles FC have also been participating in the CONCACAF Champions League and beat Alajuelense 4-2 on aggregate, including a 3-0 away win in the first leg of the tie.
Trends show Los Angeles FC are undefeated in their last 6 MLS games. They have a good record of 20 undefeated matches in their last 22 home encounters in Major League Soccer and have won each of their last 4 home league matches.
FC Dallas travel to Los Angeles having recorded a 2-1 home win over Kansas City Wizards last weekend in MLS.
It was Kansas City who opened the scoring after only 11 minutes and the score was 0-1 at half time. However, FC Dallas staged a comeback in the second half and scored 2 goals, the second of which came in the 84th minute, to win the match.
That result means FC Dallas are undefeated in their 3 most recent fixtures, all of which have come in MLS.
They defeated LA Galaxy 3-1 at home, having again come from behind to win the match and they picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps.
Trends show FC Dallas have won just 1 of their last 8 away matches in Major League Soccer. They have failed to win any of their 4 most recent away games in the league and have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 8 matches on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Los Angeles FC are without the injured duo of Antonio Leone and Maxime Crépeau. Kellyn Acosta is a doubt due to a knock.
FC Dallas are without injured forward Paxton Pomykal but he is the only player unavailable for the visitors.
Most games involving Los Angeles FC feature plenty of goals and this should be no different. We expect to see both teams find the back of the net, with over 2.5 goals and Los Angeles FC taking maximum points.
