Houston Dynamo come from a 1-2 score against Minnesota United last fixture, a match to remember. The next job is this fierce Los Angeles FC team.

Insights:
  • Houston Dynamo is in the worst form (0-1-5)
  • Los Angeles FC have the fewest conceded goals (30) in Major League Soccer

These teams have little in common geographically as Los Angeles FC have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Houston Dynamo have less rest than Los Angeles FC in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Major League Soccer game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Minnesota United.

Houston Dynamo form and stats

Houston Dynamo have collected 16 points from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 4-4-5. The Houston Dynamo manager Nagamura might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Houston lost their last game at Minnesota United (placed 3rd) after a 1-2 scoreline. Midfielder Baird was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.34 (out of ten) in that game. Baird scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Colorado Rapids the opponent.

An interesting fact: 10 of the latest 11 league matches from these players have had goals from both sides.

The manager Nagamura will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Seattle Sounders in only four days.

The Houston Dynamo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Houston Dynamo have conceded 17 goals. When Houston Dynamo hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Sporting KC, Colorado Rapids, Seattle Sounders and SJ Earthquakes), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.
