Prediction: 2-1
Los Angeles Galaxy
Houston Dynamo will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes when they take on Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday morning. Houston Dynamo aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Ifunanyachi Achara and Brad Smith are sidelined with injuries, while Paraguay midfielder Carlos Ferreira Vidal is pushing for a start.
LA Galaxy, on the other hand, are desperate to record their first win of the season, but seeing that Houston have turned their PNC Stadium into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Javier Hernandez Chicharito remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the Orange Crush. Defender Chase Gasper is yet another absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
