    FC Dallas vs LAFC: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

    FC Dallas vs LAFC predicted formations

    FC Dallas host LAFC at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, September 26 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).

    FC Dallas have no fresh injury concerns to report, with Petar Musa expected to lead the line after a season in which he’s scored 18 goals. Logan Farrington, who has chipped in with 9 goals of his own, should partner him up top. Santiago Moreno and Kaick da Silva Ferreira are the two most likely names to supply the creative running in behind. LAFC arrive with a similarly clean bill of health, and Denis Bouanga remains the team’s biggest goal threat with 14 goals to his name this season. Heung-Min Son and Marco Antonio Delgado are the other two names posing the biggest supply threat in behind him.
