Los Angeles FC will be away to Houston Dynamos on Sunday in Major League Soccer looking to get back to winning ways. Houston come to this match sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference while LA are third. The Dynamos have played 15 matches so far and have a game in hand on the teams in and around them. They will seek a win here that will see them move into the playoff places. Ben Olsen’s charges come to this match off the back of a morale-boosting 4-1 win over the Chicago Fire in the US Open Cup. The win ended a two-game losing slump with both defeats coming in the league. Houston have been inconsistent so far this season and before defeating Chicago Fire, they had conceded nine goals in their last two matches.

Los Angeles FC will be keen to get a win here to avoid falling further down in the race to emerge as the top team from the Western Conference. They currently trail conference leaders St. Louis by two points but have the advantage of having two games in hand on them. Second-placed Seattle Sounders and fourth-placed Dallas, whom they are tied on 26 points, have played four more matches. Steven Cherundolo’s men come to this match without a win in four matches now and drew 0-0 with Atalanta United last time out. That result ended a run of three consecutive defeats. LA were beaten in both legs of the Champions League final by Mexico’s Leon and could still be reeling from this.
