LA Galaxy are set to face Houston Dynamo for their next MLS fixture at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Friday.

Both teams come into the game in poor form. LA Galaxy were thumped 6-2 by rivals Los Angeles FC in their last MLS game. Four goals from Diego Rossi and a goal each from Bradley Wright-Phillips and Mohamed El Monir sealed the deal for Bob Bradley's side. A Latif Blessing own goal and a Cristian Pavon penalty saved some face for LA Galaxy.

Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Portland Timbers. Goals from Jeremy Ebobisse and Diego Valeri secured the win for the Timbers. Alberth Elis scored the consolation goal for Houston Dynamos, before being sent off late in the game.

LA Galaxy vs Houston Dynamos Prediction

For LA Galaxy, Javier Hernandez's absence means that Cristian Pavon will have to step up. The Argentina international has been a good addition to the squad, and much will be expected from the young winger.

Houston Dynamo will be relying on Darwin Quintero. The Colombia international has been in sensational form since joining from Minnesota United, and looks set to lead the line once more.
