Dallas vs Los Angeles FC Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10, 2022
Dallas will invite Western Conference leaders Los Angeles FC to the Toyota Stadium in the MLS on Saturday.
The hosts are third in the Western Conference standings and need to put in a few solid displays to book their place in the playoffs. Los Angeles are the only team from the Western Conference to have booked their playoff spot.
Dallas returned to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Minnesota United, with all three goals coming in a three-minute spell in the second half. LAFC, meanwhile, snapped their three-game losing streak in their previous outing. Second-half goals from Ryan Hollingshead and Cristian Arango helped them overcome Real Salt Lake at home on Sunday.
The stakes are much higher for Dallas here, as they look to book their playoff spot, while LAFC might opt to play for a draw.

Dallas vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
Dallas have been solid at home in their recent games but might struggle against Los Angeles FC, who seem to have had their number in their recent meetings. Both teams have in-form strikers in Jesus Ferreira and Cristian Arango, which increases the odds of both sides finding the back of the net.
D̶o̶c̶t̶o̶r̶s̶ opposing goalkeepers HATE this one weird trick. https://t.co/BlbouYAQ33
The last two meetings between the two teams have produced over 2.5 goals. Given Los Angeles' current form, the trend is expected to hold true, and LAFC should come out on top.
