Our prediction for this MLS match:
After suffering elimination in the US Open Cup in midweek, FC Dallas will look to get back on course when they take on Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday morning. The Toros defeated Portland Timbers in their last home game, but they do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the visit of Los Angeles Galaxy. Anyhow, the hosts are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive.
The likes of Liam Fraser, Jesus Ferreira, Patrickson Delgado, Paxton Pomykal, Alan Velasco, and Geovane Jesus are sidelined with injuries for the home team. The visitors, meanwhile, aim to overtake their local rivals Los Angeles FC in top position in the standings. As LA Galaxy will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Julian Aude, Jonathan Perez, and Gaston Brugman miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
