Why Bet on the LA Galaxy?
The locals are in 3rd place in the conference with 25 points, the product of six victories, seven draws, and two losses. Their 27 goals in favor make them one of the most potent attacks in the MLS, but their defense doesn’t do them any favor. Their 22 goals against is a high tally, the highest in the top five and the second highest in the top nine.
Greg Vanney’s men are unbeaten in their last five matches, although four of those fixtures have been draws. Then again, their inability to properly repel the rivals’ attacks was responsible for that streak without wins. Before that, they were at the top of the table. They are without a clean sheet in their last 10 MLS home matches.
The LA team triumphed 2-1 over Houston Dynamo in their previous MLS fixture, with Gabriel Pec and Riqui Puig getting the goals. That was their third win in their last five matches at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Why Bet on FC Dallas?
The visitor for this clash is FC Dallas, looking to improve on their run of three wins, four draws, and six losses. Those numbers place them 12th out of 14 teams in the conference and four points apart from a playoff position. In their favor, they have only 13 games played.
Truth be told, the Bulls are not in bad form, unbeaten in their last five matches. They have claimed three wins in that run but were held to a 3-3 draw last time out, throwing away a three-goal lead.
A problem for FC Dallas is that they often struggle on their travels, having failed to win their last eight MLS away matches. Nico Estevez’s men have suffered six defeats in that run but were held to a 1-1 draw by Houston Dynamo in their previous fixture on the road.
Final Betting Analysis:Â LA Galaxy vs. FC Dallas
These two teams are traditional franchises and have faced 56 times. The Bulls have the advantage with 26 wins against 24 from the Galácticos. In addition, they have won five of the last six games, with the other result being a draw. We have to go back to 2021 to find the last victory of the locals.
LA Galaxy has the greater advantage of playing at home, while FC Dallas has a pretty good record against the Galaxy. However, due to the form of both teams coming into this meeting, we believe the locals have the advantage.
We’ll go for a 3-1 local triumph.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.64. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $64 for a total payout of $164.
