Los Angeles to Win
How could Steven Cherundolo’s boys not be favorites in this match? After all, they did become MLS 2022 champions and with that in mind, they should be considered favorites against anyone really.
Furthermore, Los Angeles also have a good track record against Dallas at BMO Stadium. The two teams faced each other on four occasions at this venue. Three matches ended with convincing Los Angeles wins and in one, the two teams shared the spoils. As we prefaced our Los Angeles vs Dallas predictions, Dallas are doing well. But certainly not as well as Los Angeles who are in 2nd place in the Western Conference at the moment.
Denis Bouanga to Score Anytime
There are other people who are prime candidates to score according to the bookies but our Los Angeles vs Dallas prediction favors Denis Bouanga to find the net on Sunday.
With two goals and an assist since the start of the season, the 28-year-old Gabonese player is currently at his peak and it’ll be unwise for Steven Cherundolo to bench him right now.
Dallas showed they are not big at the back this season and for a razor-sharp player such as Denis Bouanga, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue to score.

Los Angeles odds: -161 – 52.0%
Draw odds: +290 – 24.0%
Dallas odds: +290 – 24.0%
A draw and a Dallas win are outcomes that are valued the same – at +290. The odds are indeed impressive but with a measly 24.0% likelihood, we highly advise turning your attention to Los Angeles at -161. With a whopping 52.0% win probability, you can see why our top Los Angeles vs Dallas predictions favored Steven Cherundolo’s boys.
Los Angeles vs Dallas Lineups & Team News
Los Angeles
LAFC’s 0-0 tie against Seattle Sounders was perhaps the fairest outcome we could’ve seen. Neither team particularly impressed and while Seattle Sounders had 56% possession and a few more shots in, the difference was not that big. Our key Los Angeles vs Dallas predictions remain firm as we’re certain coach Steven Cherundolo would want to get back on the winning track after failing twice in a row.
Predicted lineup – McCarthy (GK), Hollingshead, Chiellini, Murillo, Palencia, Tillman, Sanchez, Acosta, Bouanga, Opoku & Vela
Dallas
As we mentioned previously in our Los Angeles vs Dallas prediction, the Texas-based team is in spectacular form. With two victories, one draw, and one loss since the start of the season, it’ll take one hell of a performance from LAFC to get the three points. However, despite winning 2-1 against Sporting KC at home, Dallas were far from impressive as they only had 52% possession and three shots on target.
Predicted lineup – Paes (GK), Farfan, Martinez, Tafari, Twumasi, Pomykal, Cerrillo, Lletget, Velasco, Arriola & Ferreira

Player to Watch: John McCarthy
With goalkeeper-in-chief Maxime Crepeau out injured, it was up to John McCarthy to step up in the CONCACAF Champions League match against Alajuelense. And he did a poor job. Yes, the visitors had seven shots on target but most of them were easy to handle and John McCarthy conceded twice leaving his team to lose 1-2 at BMO Stadium. Thankfully, the team won 4-2 on aggregate and the player managed to quickly bounce back with some vital saves in the goalless tie against Seattle Sounders last week.
