The away team played their last official match on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Los Angeles Galaxy, away - Dallas). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

- ball possession: 54% vs 46%;

Galaxy currently sit 12th in the Western Conference standings (significantly below Houston in 4th). There are problems in many areas. However, the attack consistently generates around 1.5 goals per match. Roughly the same number are conceded. There have been a lot of mixed results along the way. But, even so, against such a serious opponent, something productive can only be achieved in attack. Especially since a second consecutive goalless draw (the first was against Dallas) is extremely unlikely in the current circumstances.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this match, Houston players are capable of dominating possession for significant stretches. But LA Galaxy are a team with a number of quite talented players who, especially when given enough space to run in behind, can generate plenty of bright attacking moments. And the hosts themselves, of course, won't be left behind. With the support of the crowd, our editorial team believes they can find the net a few times. Galaxy simply allow too much defensively. The match will likely end 2-1. We're playing the bet on Both Teams to Score (Yes).
