MLS Preview: Los Angeles Football Club (19-7-3) at FC Dallas (12-8-10)

Los Angeles FC has won its last three matches against Dallas, including a 3-1 home win on June 29. LAFC has won four of the seven all-time meetings in MLS, but only one of three played in Dallas (D1 L1).

FC Dallas scored all three of its goals in a span of 3 minutes, 43 seconds against Minnesota on Saturday. It was the fastest a team has scored three times in MLS at least 2010, besting Dallas’ three goals in 3:53 against Austin last August.

Los Angeles FC snapped a three-match losing streak (all on the road) with a 2-0 home win over Real Salt Lake on Sunday. LAFC has collected 78 more points at home (172) than on the road (94) in its MLS history, only Real Salt Lake (+84 at home) has a larger difference since LAFC entered MLS in 2018.

Jesus Ferreira scored his 16th goal of the season in Dallas’ win at Minnesota on Saturday. Ferreira is now just two goals away from the club’s single regular season record of 18 set by Jason Kreis in 1999 and equaled by Kenny Cooper in 2008.

Cristian Arango has scored in three straight MLS matches and has now scored 15 times this season. Arango is the third different LAFC player to score 15 goals in a single season (C. Vela, D. Rossi in 2019) as no other team had three different players score at least 15 goals in a single season since 2018.
