With two months into the 2011 MLS season, the Los Angeles Galaxy find themselves on a similar path to repeating last year’s success of having the best record in the league. In eight games, the Galaxy has compiled 15 points so far, something that no other team has been able to do.

The Galaxy are a slight +150 favorite, FC Dallas is at +160 and a Draw is +225 in soccer betting lines.

The Los Angeles has great momentum right now, as they finished April with two solid victories. Plagued by a knee injury all season long, captain Landon Donovan finally made his 2011 debut. Donovan’s first appearance was impressive, as he scored two goals against the Portland Timbers, while Chad Barrett scored the other goal. The 3-0 victory against Portland was the best performance for the Galaxy in 2011.

David Beckham, who was recently suspended for a match, is back on the roster for LA. With that being said, the return of Landon Donovan will lead the Galaxy into a positive direction and help Los Angeles stay on top of the MLS league table for the second straight year.

F.C. Dallas has 7 points in six games so far, as inconsistency has been the issue for coach Hyndman’s squad. Dallas lost the first game of April, won the second, lost the third, and won the fourth. This type of roller coaster performance will not go far, especially to the MLS Cup route. On Sunday May 1st, the only factor Dallas F.C. can count on is the home crowd. However, the LA Galaxy will confidently step on the field at Pizza Hut Park knowing that a loss hasn’t been part of the team’s vocabulary since late March.
