Houston Dynamo welcome an LA Galaxy side which is finally starting to find some form and win some games, but are yet to produce a victory on the road from 14 attempts. 

LA Galaxy are the only side across both conferences that are yet to win a game away from home which is a metric that makes great reading for Houston Dynamo.

The Dynamo don’t have the best home record themselves with four wins from their 14 matches, but they should be spurred on by Galaxy’s shocking away record this term. 

LA Galaxy have conceded 33 goals across their 14 away matches this season (2.35 per game) and have only netted 15 goals in an attempt to mitigate this (1.07 per game). It’s not a sustainable pattern for the away side and there are signs that they could capitulate on the road again.

Houston Dynamo enter this game on the back of a crucial 3-2 win on the road against St Louis. This win brought an end to a barren run of nine games without a win and there isn’t a better opponent to follow up that win against than LA Galaxy with their poor record on the road this season.

BTTS landed in the most recent meeting between these sides back on the 21st May as Chicago ran out 3-1 winners in the Open Cup. 

BTTS has landed in four of the last five head to head meetings between the sides which is a good pattern for our selection ahead of this latest meeting. 

New England have avoided defeat in 10 of their 14 away games this season, its one of the better away records in the Eastern Conference and they’ve notably scored 21 goals across these games (1.5 per game).

Chicago’s high goal tallies tend to come on the road, but they do still see plenty of entertaining games at home. 

Chicago have won just four of their 14 home games this season, but have seen 35 goals across these matches (2.5 per game).
