Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles Galaxy will look to put icing on the cake on a very successful regular season when they face Houston Dynamo at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday morning. LA Galaxy are enjoying a very successful MLS campaign, but they have little to play for in the last game of the regulation season. As Greg Vanney is likely to mix the squad, away win should not be considered.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, are eager to clinch 5th place in Western Conference and given their fine form at home ground, we are tempted to place our bets on Ben Olsen’s troops. You should bear in mind that Houston Dynamo defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 3-0 in their last encounter at Shell Energy Stadium. Argentina defender Franco Nicolas Escobar is banned for the hosts following his sending-off in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis City.
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.
