Our prediction for this MLS match:
Following a heavy 3-0 loss to St Louis City, Houston Dynamo will look to get back on course when they take on Los Angeles FC on Sunday morning. The Orange Crush continue with their habit of producing much better displays at home than on the travels and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their sixth home triumph of the process. Colombia forward Nelson Quinones is back from suspension, while all Teenage Hadebe, Tate Schmitt, and Ifunanyachi Achara remain in the treatment room.
Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates to win the Eastern Conference and even though Houston are tough to beat at home, away win should be considered. The hosts experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the defeat to St Louis City and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s clash. Both Crepeu and Leone miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Carlos Vela):

Over the years Carlos Vela has established himself as one of best Mexican players. Vela was born in Cancun, Mexico, on March 1, 1989 and he played for Guadalajara before joining Arsenal youth school in 2005. The pacey left-footed winger played only 29 games for the Gunners in the Premier League before signing a deal with Real Sociedad.
Carlos Vela played for the likes of Celta Vigo, Salamanca, Osasuna and WBA on loan as well before joining the Basque outfit. Nowadays, the Mexican forward is a Los Angeles FC player and it has to be noted that he scored 14 goals in 29 appearances for the club in the 2018 MLS Season. He is naturally gifted player, quick, intelligent and with very good technique.
Carlos Vela did well to win two CONCACAF Gold Cups with Mexico national football team (2009, 2015) and he was named Real Sociedad player of the year in the 2011/2012 and the 2013/2014 seasons. His main position is right winger, but he is used as a second striker and a centre-forward as well.
Highlighted Team (Houston Dynamo):

Houston Dynamo is an American professional soccer club owned by Jake Silverstein, Gabriel Brener, Ben Guull and Oscar De La Hoya, who is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time.
BBVA Compass Stadium is Dynamo’s home ground and the capacity of the venue is 22.039. Houston Dynamo won back-to-back MLS Cup trophies (2006, 2007), with the team beating New England Revolution in each of the two title games. It has to be noted that Houston finished the 2011 and the 2012 seasons as runners-up.
In 2008 the Dynamo made it to the North American SuperLiga final, but this time out their old rivals New England Revolution proved to be a big catch for the BBVA Compass Stadium outfit. FC Dallas are regarded as the club’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Texas derby. Houston have developed a rivalry with Sporting Kansas City as well. The colors of the club are orange, black and white.
