The visiting LA Galaxy side should be favourites in this visit to Houston Dynamo, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 33 league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

LA Galaxy have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
