Los Angeles FC v Houston Dynamo : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 4th May, 03:30 BST, Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles

The Major League Soccer is the focus for both Los Angeles FC and Houston Dynamo on Sunday morning, as bosses Steven Cherundolo and Ben Olsen go head to head at the Banc of California Stadium. Analysing both teams' last 20 Major League Soccer matches, as well as baseline data within the competition and the market, to generate our percentage predictions. All the stats, including head-to-heads, are shown below, alongside odds from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Steven Cherundolo and Ben Olsen to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as LAFC and Houston go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 2.25 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
