FC Dallas vs LAFC Prediction & Pick
These two teams are very even on the defensive side of the ball as both FC Dallas and LAFC rank among the top 10 MLS teams in save percentage as well as goals allowed. Scoring is not going to be easy in this matchup, so diving into which offense has been more efficient lately is worthwhile.
The more efficient offense has been LAFC. Head coach Steve Cherundolo's squad ranks third in on-target scoring attempts (99) and fourth in corners taken (114). Meanwhile, FC Dallas ranks outside the top 15 in both of those categories and is coming off back-to-back losses where it did not score.
Keep in mind that LAFC is also 4-0-1 in its last five matches against FC Dallas, so take the road team.
Final Score Prediction:'FC Dallas: 0 | LAFC: 2
FC Dallas vs LAFC Best Bet
FC Dallas' defense has certainly led the team to a respectable record, but it has faltered in the month of June. Head coach Nico Estevez's team has allowed at least 2 goals in three of its last five matches. That is concerning when facing an LAFC team that knows how to create scoring chances. LAFC has scored at least 2 goals in two of its last three matches, making this bet worth backing at plu s odds.
