Houston Dynamo vs LA Galaxy Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The last confrontation between these teams ended on level terms.

Houston Dynamo FC are ready to lock horns with LA Galaxy in the round 25 clash of the Major League Soccer 2025 edition. The interesting contest between the two clubs will take place at the Shell Energy Stadium.

It is going to be a home fixture for Houston Dynamo FC, and they will be looking to use it to their advantage. La Naranja have not been in their best form this season, but they managed to secure a draw against the Eastern Conference table toppers, Philadelphia Union. The upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy affair for them.

LA Galaxy continue their stay at the bottom of the Western Conference MLS points table. They scored a late goal and held LAFC to a draw in their previous Major League Soccer match. Their last couple of games against La Naranja have not ended in their favour, and they might feel some pressure in their away fixture.
