Houston Dynamo vs Los Angeles Galaxy — Tips & Analysis

Under 3: Houston have become a hard team to score against, and that is the heart of this one. Their last three games all finished as clean sheet wins, 2-0, 2-0 and 3-0. At home this season they are 6 wins, 1 tie and 1 loss, letting in less than a goal a game. Their matches have averaged under 3 goals in total. The Galaxy are not the side to break that pattern right now. They sit 12th and score just over a goal a game. They are also missing Riqui Puig, Thommy and Yamane, so an attack that already struggles is short of bodies. The recent head to head backs a quiet night too. The last three meetings all finished 1-1, part of nine ties in twenty games between them. A 2-0 Houston win is the likeliest finish, and a low scoring night is what this bet wants. A few things could still spoil it. The Galaxy have been far better on the road than at home, scoring almost 2 goals a game on their travels. Their games have also reached 3 or more goals in 12 of their last 18. Houston are short at the back themselves, without Antonio Carlos and Maurer. We still expect a tight, low scoring game here.
