FC Dallas are back at it tonight as they visit Carson CA to tame the Lion. The Galaxy are currently experiencing a three game losing streak where they’ve been outscored 9-1 in the process. The Galaxy are either in the middle of a downward spiral or about to snap out their funk and take things out on Dallas. Dallas are coming off an emphatic win of their own, snapping out of a scoring slump by thundering five past Minnesota United on Saturday.
The staff are continuing to make picks this season and we’re going with a simple points system, plus a slight twist:
Correct Result Prediction: 1pt
Correct Score: 2pts
Insightful commentary: +Bonus (admittedly this will be a bit arbitrary depending on accuracy, insight and creativity).

Here are our staff predictions against LAG:
FCD vs SEA
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
Ben Lyon | Win | 2 | 1 | The smug comments from Sounders fans this week... |
Jack Rous | Win | 2 | 0 | How do they do it? Ricardo Pepi |
Jason Poon | Loss | 0 | 2 | It's been fun but I'm not seeing a way out of Seattle with a win. |
Jeff Loftin | Loss | 1 | 2 | Close loss after controversial play at the other end which mysteriously doesn't get VAR treatment. |
Mohammad Bushnaq | Loss | 1 | 2 | Valiant effort but Dallas falls short in the Pacific NW for their revenge bid. |
Nathan Hill | Draw | 2 | 2 | FC Dallas advance on PKs and claim the Cascadia Cup. Goals from Jara and Pepi. |
Ryan Scanlon | Loss | 1 | 3 | Seattle’s quality and combination play will be too much for FC Dallas which will not let us get away with what we pulled off against Portland. Michael Barrios gives us a glimmer of hope with a goal before Jordan Morris and Nick Lodeiro put this out of reach. |
What do y’all think? Can Dallas get something out of this one tonight? Or is it too much to ask for a midweek road game out on the West Coast?
