When looking at each team’s scoring opportunites, the LA Galaxy holds the edge in attacking area possessions, ranking 2nd in the league. On the other side, FC Dallas is just 24th in the same category. In terms of attacking possessions, not only does Los Angeles has the advantage on offense, but they have also done an excellent job at limiting the opportunites of their opponent, ranking 11th in attacking possessions allowed. Their figure compares favorably to Dallas’s defense which is ranked 17th in the same department.
Look for this to be a low-scoring game, as this matchup features two of the best defensive teams in the league. I recommend the under.
