FC Dallas will square off against LA Galaxy at the Toyota Stadium in the MLS Western Conference on Saturday.
The hosts returned to winning ways for the first time in two months with a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Jesus Ferreira scored the only goal of the game to help his team move to fifth in the Western Conference standings.

FC Dallas vs LA Galaxy Prediction
Dallas are without a win in their last five home games in the MLS, four of which have seen under 2.5 goals. Galaxy, meanwhile, failed to score in their last away game but netted seven in four games before their 2-0 defeat at Colorado Rapids.
Galaxy and Dallas returned to winning ways in their previous outings and will look to build on that momentum. Dallas have played out low-scoring games at home recently, and the trend could continue here. A low-scoring draw could ensue.
