Prediction: 3-2
Houston Dynamo
Los Angeles FC will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to New York City when they take on Houston Dynamo at Banc of California Stadium. Los Angeles do not seem to be at the top of their game at the moment, but the match against Houston could be the turning point for the home team. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Carlos Vela, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. The Dynamo have collected only one point in total on the road this season, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Keep in mind, though, that Los Angeles FC duo Diego Palacios – Brian Rodriguez is on international duty with Ecuador and Uruguay respectively.

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.

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.
