Extratips Match Prediction: Los Angeles Galaxy vs FC Dallas (MLS 2025)

Welcome to Extratips for a full match preview as Los Angeles Galaxy host FC Dallas in MLS action this October! Kickoff is set for October 12, 2025, at 02:30 in the USA.

This clash looks set for fireworks. The main odds suggest Galaxy are solid favorites (1.65 to win; BET365). A draw sits at 4.50, while Dallas are underdogs at 4.10. Both teams to score is hot at 1.50—bookies expect action. Over 2.5 goals pays 1.44, hinting at an open contest.

Galaxy currently sit 7th in the West with 44 points, eyeing a playoff spot. Dallas are 10th with 37 points, desperate for wins to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Last five Galaxy-Dallas meetings: Dallas win 2-1, Draw 1-1, Galaxy win 3-1, Draw 2-2, Galaxy win 2-0. Head-to-head is close—no shortage of goals.

Galaxy at home: 2W, 2D, 1L. Dallas away: 0W, 2D, 3L. Strengths? Galaxy create tons of chances, with Chaves and Paintsil in form, but often leak goals late. Dallas have grit and dangerous attackers in Musa and Acosta, but struggle on the road defensively. Both squads miss key men—Reus and Puig for Galaxy, Paes and Pomykal for Dallas—which could tilt the balance.

Storylines to watch: 1) Dallas’s playoff push—can their attack break Galaxy’s back line? 2) Galaxy’s injury struggles—will home advantage be enough? 3) Two leaky defenses—will this be another goal-fest?

We’re lined up for an open match with goals and drama—classic MLS entertainment!
