Houston Dynamo and LA FC have one pretty interesting and important clash this Saturday afternoon. The hosts want to reach the top spot in the West, while the guests need points to stay in the playoff zone; otherwise, they are slipping to the play-in area. They met last week, which only adds additional spice to this contest.
Before Betting on Houston Dynamo vs. LA FC
Dynamo is one of the teams fighting to reach a direct playoff spot. Right now, the Texas franchise has 40 points in 26 matches, one fewer than the fifth-placed Whitecaps and the same as the Sounders who are in the play-in.
Houston lost to Toronto FC in Texas two weeks ago, 0-1, but managed to beat LA FC last weekend, 0-2, on the road. Their home results are terrible—the second-worst in the West, with only 17 points in 12 games.
LA FC lost to Columbus in the Leagues Cup finals, 3-1, which wasn’t a pleasant experience. They would eliminate the Seattle Sounders from the US Open Cup two days later, 0-1, but then lost to Dynamo at home, 0-2.
Following a stretch of very efficient matches (seven in eight with over 2.5 hits), the previous two ended with two or fewer goals, which is odd for LA FC, whose playstyle is extremely offensive-minded.
Houston Dynamo vs. LA FC Head to Head
As stated before, Houston beat LA FC last weekend, 0-2 in LA. The scorers were Ponce and Ennali. Dynamo and FC met three times last year, twice in the regular MLS season, where Houston won both events, 4-0 at home and 0-1 on the road, but the LA FC was better when it mattered the most, in the playoff semis, 2-0 in LA.

| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Dynamo | +120 |
| Draw | +270 |
| LA FC | +205 |
The Dynamo is terrible at home, but last week’s victory over the FC on the road surely boosted their morale. FC is motivated to win for many reasons, and they won’t calculate here at all and need to be aggressive immediately. That’s why our pick is over 2.5 hits.
