LA Galaxy vs Houston Dynamo

Dignity Health Sports Park is the venue as Los Angeles Galaxy and Houston Dynamo go head-to-head in an exciting MLS match-up.

A notorious lack of consistency had seen LA Galaxy alternate between winning (3) and not winning (2) across their five MLS outings before going winless in their last two league fixtures (D1, L1). In order to return to winning ways, Greg Vanney’s side will be better off flying out of the traps, as they’ve lost both home league matches in which they conceded the opening goal this season. The Galaxy faithful will be glad to know their side dismantled Houston 3-0 in their most recent MLS meeting, following a run of three identical 1-1 H2H draws beforehand. A stalemate is seemingly off the table this time around, as none of Galaxy’s five MLS home games this season have ended level (W3, L2).

On the other hand, Houston Dynamo head into proceedings in the midst of a rough patch, having lost four of their last five MLS matches, except for a 2-0 home triumph over Nashville a week ago. It’s been an abysmal away league campaign for Houston thus far, as they’ve suffered three defeats on their four MLS travels (W1), including the last two in a row by an aggregate score of 4-1. Conceding first may lead to the visitors’ dismay, considering they’ve lost three out of five MLS games in which they fell behind this term (W1, D1, L3). Going back to March 2015, the ‘Orange Crush’ have won just one of their eight MLS visits to LA Galaxy (D4, L3) despite scoring in six.
