LA Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo

The Houston Dynamo are in a winless 0-3-2 slump as the offense is struggling, scoring six goals. They've also scored nine goals in their last nine away from home. Plus, Houston will be missing attacking threat forward Alberth Elis (sidelined through suspension). They face an L.A. Galaxy squad that focuses on defense. They come off a one-sided loss to Los Angeles, but prior to that, the Galaxy had allowed nine goals over seven games, including wins over New England (2-1) and Vancouver (4-1). In 34 career meetings, Los Angeles is averaging 1.4 goals while Houston is averaging 1.3. These teams played a 1-1 DRAW back in February in the last meeting, and this shapes up as a Galaxy victory in another defensive duel. Play Los Angeles on the moneyline and UNDER the total.
