FC Dallas looks to pick up their first win of the 2023 season on Saturday night as they host the LA Galaxy.

FC Dallas sweep the season series against the Galaxy in 2022, including a 1-0 win over the west coast side in the last meeting at Toyota Stadium.

### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas**: Sebastian Lletget - I’m always curious when a player faces off against a former club. FCD will need Lletget to improve from his week one showing as a guy that helps facilitate the attack more against the Galaxy. LA has a vulnerable backline, so there are places where Lletget can be dangerous in finding runs for Paul Arriola, Jesus Ferreira and Alan Velasco.

**Recent history against LA**: FC Dallas is 31-35-13 in regular season matches against LA Galaxy with a 23- 9-7 record at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas has won its last six home matches against the Galaxy, including keeping clean sheets in each of the last three. The Galaxy have never lost seven straight road games in all competitions against a single team in the club’s history.

**Homegrown clock**: Three FC Dallas Homegrowns were featured in the 2023 season opener, accumulating a total of 195 minutes amongst the three players.

### LA Notes:

**Key player for LA**: Riqui Puig - Stop his ability to be on the ball in the attacking third and LA will struggle to create chances on goal.

**Season opener for LA** \- Saturday’s match will be the season opener for the Galaxy after their much-anticipated EL Tráfico match against LAFC at the Rose Bowl was canceled for heavy rain in the area.

[Behind Enemy Lines: Scouting LA GalaxyFC Dallas enters the second weekend of the regular season looking for their first win of 2023\. It won’t come easy, as they play host to the LA Galaxy. Gregg Vanney’s side finished fourth last season in the Western Conference, a big turnaround from the prior years that saw them fail to reach the postseason. They’re led by some serious firepower up front with headline names like Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, Riqui Puig, Douglas Costa, and Dejan Joveljić.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9b/a4/9ba413bd-9ade-4977-b9cf-1a1e2ef6de5c/content/images/2024/10/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f5c484f55-9772-40c8-bc77-0ae3e6ec4774_205x205-11.png)Big D Soccer](https://www.bigdsoccer.com/behind-enemy-lines-scouting-la-galaxy/)
