Houston v Los Angeles FC

Houston Dynamo vs Los Angeles Preview

Houston Dynamo picked up all three points last time out in the MLS when the Texan outfit registered an impressive 2-0 win on the road at Los Angeles and in a quirk of the fixture scheduling, these two teams will meet again at the Shell Energy Stadium with Los Angeles not only seeking revenge for that defeat but also the three points in order to attempt to reduce the deficit between themselves and rivals LA Galaxy at the top of the Western Conference ladder.

That 2-0 win last time out helped lift Houston Dynamo into the top seven pack in the Western Conference table although they are still level on points with eighth placed Seattle Sounders so Ben Olsen's side know they cannot afford a slip-up here in order to cement their spot in the Finals places.

The hosts have picked up three wins within their last four games in the MLS which includes previous victories over San Jose Earthquakes and Vancouver Whitecaps while the bigger picture shows Houston Dynamo have suffered just two defeats in their last 12 matches overall.

Houston Dynamo have registered six wins within this period and the goals market also appeals here as eight of these last 12 games have also produced goals for both teams as well.

Los Angeles have an immediate opportunity to avenge their recent 2-0 loss at home to Houston Dynamo when they make their way to the Shell Energy Stadium for this upcoming encounter but the visitors have also produced a pretty impressive sequence of results lately in the MLS as well.

Despite being handed defeats by the likes of Columbus Crew and Houston Dynamo, both of which were on home turf at their BMO Stadium, Los Angeles have also collected a total of 10 wins within their previous 14 games overall, so Steve Cherundolo's side will also fancy their chances of picking up a result of some sort in this encounter.

In addition, Los Angeles have recorded five of these 10 wins on their travels as well, picking up victories on the road at St Louis City, Atlanta United, Orlando City, LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders respectively so they stand a decent chance of least hitting the back of the net in this upcoming fixture.

Six of Los Angeles' last 10 games overall in the MLS have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net while the visitors have also notched in 14 of their last 16 games on the road overall as well.

Houston Dynamo v Los Angeles Verdict

Both Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles have produced some encouraging results of late in the MLS and both sides will fancy their chances of getting something out of this upcoming encounter as well, as they look to further boost their respective Finals Series spots.
