FC Dallas vs Los Angeles FC: Top Scorers Sidelined

Published Sat 26 Sept

FC Dallas take on Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer on Sunday, 27 September 2026 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, with both sides stripped of their most prolific attackers.

Petar Musa and Denis Bouanga among 14 absentees

International call-ups and disciplinary bans have cut deep into both squads ahead of this round 27 meeting. FC Dallas enter without top scorer Petar Musa, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season but departs on international duty alongside B. Kamungo and R. Binyamin. Midfielder Ramiro misses out through suspension, while A. A. Julio Santos and Geovane Jesus are rated doubtful due to injury.

Los Angeles FC face even heavier disruption. Leading scorer Denis Bouanga, responsible for 14 goals across all competitions, is away on international duty together with J. Shaffelburg, J. Terry, L. Walta, and M. Choiniere. Defender A. Long serves a suspension, and injuries rule out both T. Hasal and T. Tillman.

FC Dallas unbeaten in five league matches

FC Dallas occupy fourth place in the Western Conference with 44 points from 26 matches, having built a five-game streak without defeat. Their recent run features a 0-0 draw against Austin on 20 September, a 2-1 win over Portland Timbers on 13 September, a 2-1 victory at Minnesota United FC on 10 September, and a 4-3 win against Sporting Kansas City on 6 September, following a 3-3 draw at St. Louis City on 30 August.

At Toyota Stadium, Dallas have won five and drawn five of their 12 league fixtures, scoring 24 goals while conceding 20. Over their last five outings with chance data, they have produced an average of 1.49 expected goals per game while conceding 1.12.

Los Angeles FC struggle on the road

Sixth in the Western Conference with 41 points from 27 fixtures, Los Angeles FC have secured three victories from 14 away matches in the league, alongside six draws and five defeats. Their travels have yielded no wins in their last four attempts, taking a 2-2 draw at San Jose Earthquakes on 19 September, a 3-1 loss at Sporting Kansas City on 13 September, a 2-2 draw at Real Salt Lake on 6 September, and a 0-0 draw at DC United on 29 August.

LAFC did defeat Dallas 1-0 in their earlier encounter this season on 8 March 2026, but their away form shows only 18 goals scored across 14 matches.

Our model leans towards a FC Dallas win

Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a FC Dallas win, reflecting low confidence in the outcome. Los Angeles FC have won just three times in 14 away fixtures this season, while Dallas protect a five-match unbeaten run on home soil. The absence of both primary goalscorers, Musa and Bouanga, narrows the gap between the two sides.
