Houston Dynamo Preview – Can Orange Crush cause a huge upset?
Houston Dynamo have had a pretty miserable season up until now, picking up just seven wins from 27 MLS matches. They have drawn five and lost 15 of the other 20 and sit rock bottom of the Western Conference table.
Dynamo have claimed just one victory in their past 11 league games, losing eight of those along the way. Since a 2-1 away success at San Jose Earthquakes in mid-July, Houston have taken just one point from a possible 18, drawing one and losing five of six.
Orange Crush are on a horrible run of form right now, but can they upset the leaders and restore some pride? The bookies are offering the big odds of 13/5 for a home win.
Los Angeles Preview – Will LAFC bounce back from back-to-back defeats?
Steve Cherundolo’s Los Angeles have been the team to beat in MLS this season. They have spent the majority of the campaign at the summit, collecting an impressive 57 points from 27 games. Overall, LAFC have won 18, drawn three and lost six.
Los Angeles looked unstoppable recently when they won seven games in a row to take command of the Western Conference. However, they have had a strange couple of weeks or so, losing to San Jose and Austin. They were particularly poor in Texas, crashing to a heavy 4-1 reverse at Q2 Stadium.
