LAFC Host Slumping FC Dallas Amid Packed Schedule

LAFC Regain Form at the Right Time

After a four-game winless streak (0-3-1) across all competitions, LAFC broke out in a big way midweek. Denis Bouanga, the team’s offensive catalyst, netted his ninth goal of the season in the three-goal win over Colorado. That offensive outburst came after LAFC had scored just once during their previous four-match skid, which included two losses and a draw at the FIFA Club World Cup.

LAFC have now played a grueling 28 matches this season across MLS, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and the Club World Cup—with the Leagues Cup still on the horizon.

“When you’re winning games, that’s a great time to have a congested schedule because things are flowing and going in the right direction,” said coach Steve Cherundolo. “So it’s important to get us going, get the ball rolling in the right direction.”

FC Dallas Desperate for Stability

FC Dallas arrive in Los Angeles in the midst of a three-game losing streak, conceding nine goals over that stretch. With 37 goals allowed this season, only two Western Conference clubs have worse defensive records—LA Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City.

Following a 2-1 home loss to Minnesota United on July 4, Dallas now holds a dreadful 1-7-2 home record and continues to search for answers.

“We’re going to look and figure out the best game plan as far as if we need to make personnel changes, if we need to make formation changes,” said head coach Eric Quill. “But I really don’t think it’s formation, I don’t think it’s tactics.”

Petar Musa leads Dallas with seven goals, followed by Luciano Acosta with five. Still, the team lacks the defensive discipline to close out games, especially on the road.
