The hosts got off to a weak start to their campaign, being far away from where they were expected to be at this point. There’s still a long way to go, though, and this match could be important for Bob Bradley‘s boys to get back on track before it’s too late.

LAFC vs FC Dallas: Storylines andHead-to-Head
Los Angeles FC will try to get back on winning ways after failing to do so in their two previous games. Last weekend, they were held by Houston Dynamo at home. Besides, Bradley’s side has only won one match from its last seven, which is why the upcoming clash could be crucial for it to finally step up.
FC Dallas are even in a worse spot after Week 8, as they are at the bottom of the Western Conference standings having won just once so far, their worst start to an MLS season since 2009. Will they end a five-game winless streak against another side desperate for the three points?
One thing is for sure, the four games played between these two sides up to now have been evenly matched. They have won one game each and tied on other two matches.
