Form, Standings, Stats

We said: Los Angeles FC 2-1 Houston Dynamo

While the reigning champions have been poor in recent weeks, their excellent home record this season cannot be overlooked. Fatigue will likely have an impact on both sides in this fixture, but the hosts will want to come flying out of the blocks, and an early goal will be exactly what they need to calm the nerves around the camp. The visitors' form on the road has been one of the worst in MLS this term, and despite having the psychological edge over their opponent following the result on Sunday, they are likely to find it much more difficult this time around.
