Expert Betting Tips
LA Galaxy stands as the bigger team when compared to FC Dallas this season and the league table is a good confirmation of that. FC Dallas are nowhere near decent levels yet and the defeat from the last game strikes a doubt if they are heading for the bottom in the coming weeks. LA Galaxy on the other hand are feeling confident that they can build another winning run like they had prior to the defeat to Los Angeles.
However, when we consider LA Galaxy’s away record and FC Dallas’ home record, we can see there’s a slight chance that FC Dallas can end this game with at least a draw. Also the h2h proves FC Dallas dominated this fixture in the past, so there’s no way they are coming into this game feeling like underdogs.
