Dallas finished third in the Western Conference the previous season, making it to the conference semi-finals, where they were defeated 2-1 by Austin FC.
However, the Hoops have struggled to maintain consistency this season, compiling a record of seven wins, five draws, and seven losses from 19 matches for a total of 26 points, leaving them in seventh place.
Dallas last won on June 8 when they defeated leaders St Louis City 2-0, but they have subsequently fallen to Portland Timbers and Austin, losing four of their previous five games.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, will enter the contest fresh off a 3-2 setback to the Vancouver Whitecaps, their fourth league defeat of the season.
The Falcons fell behind 2-0 in the first 23 minutes of the game in California and were unable to recover, with Vancouver coming out on top by a single goal.
Steve Cherundolo's team sits second in the table with 32 points, level with leaders St Louis City, despite having a game in hand on the top team.
Last season, Los Angeles finished first in the Western Conference with 67 points before dominating in the playoffs, eventually defeating Philadelphia Union on penalties to win the MLS Cup.
