Their previous meeting earlier this season was a 1-1 draw in Los Angeles. Both teams are a perfectly balanced 4-4-5 in their last 13 overall meetings, and are 2-2-1 in their last five meetings in Houston. Over is 6-2 in their last 8 meetings.
In this LA Galaxy vs Houston Dynamo Prediction, Houston is coming as +100 home favorites. Houston is rightfully favored, as they have more points than LA Galaxy, but they have been struggling at home, having just four wins in 13 home games. Houston also has only two wins in their last 8 games, while the Galaxy have only one defeat in their last 5 games. With all of their meetings both overall and in Houston being balanced, I expect another close game, so I like the value with the LA Galaxy PK in this one.
