LA Galaxy lost their playoff ticket already and it's been decided that they won't be playing in the playoffs. While FC Dallas need to win to secure their place in the playoffs. FC Dallas face tight competition from San Jose Earthquakes, Sporting Kansas City, and Minnesota United directly below them.

Analysis and Predictions

FC Dallas are the better team on paper based on the current form but I don’t see them making such a big difference on the final day of the season. LA Galaxy are out of the playoff zone but they will be hoping to give their fans something to cheer about on the final day and a win against FC Dallas would be a good way to do that. I expect an open-ended game with goals from both sides to say the least.
