Form Guide & Team Overview
Dallas
Dallas have been in a mixed bag of form, but their recent results suggest a team finding its stride. A commanding 4-0 victory away at DC United showcased their attacking prowess, with Musa and Farrington proving to be a lethal combination upfront. The 4-3 thriller against Houston Dynamo further highlighted their offensive capabilities, though defensive lapses remain a concern.
Their recent 1-1 draw against St. Louis City was a testament to their resilience, managing to secure a point despite not being at their best. This run of form has likely boosted their confidence, and they’ll be eager to maintain momentum against LA Galaxy.
