Houston Dynamo vs LAFC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS

The home team are yet to register a win this season.

Houston Dynamo FC are set to take on LAFC in Match day seven of the MLS action at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are in search of their first win of the season against the visitors. 

Houston Dynamo FC have made a poor start to their new season as they languish 14th in the Western Conference table. Ben Olsen’s side have gathered just two points from the opening six matches, drawing twice and losing four games. They are lacking in both departments after managing to score just four goals in six games while conceding 11. They have not won in their last eight games, falling to a 3-1 defeat against the Portland Timbers in the last match.

LAFC, on the other hand, after opening the season in good form, have suffered a dip in form in recent matches. They have managed to secure just one win in their last four matches in MLS, which came in the 2-0 win over Sporting KC. They are also in the quarter-final of the Concacaf Champions Cup where they secured a vital 1-0 victory in the 1st leg of the competition.

Players to Watch

Jack McGlynn (Houston Dynamo FC)

Jack McGlynn has emerged as an exciting talent for Houston, who has all the tools to become the ultimate difference maker on the team. The talented midfielder has been in good form recently, providing two assists in his last two matches. In the five matches he has played so far, McGlynn has created ten chances for them while also registering a 90.3% passing accuracy. 

David Martinez (⁠LAFC)

David Martinez has been one of the best players for LAFC in their underwhelming campaign. The talented winger is currently leading the goalscoring charts for them with two goals from six matches. Known for his pace and trickery, he will be hoping to get back to scoring ways with his last goal coming against Sporting KC.
