The Houston Dynamo (1-0-0) will host the LAFC on Saturday, February 28, at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, TX. Fans can follow the action on Apple TV+ once the game gets underway at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Houston got their season off to a nice start last week with a win over Chicago Fire FC, 2-1. Hugo Cuyepers put Chicago Fire FC ahead early with a goal in the 31st minute. But the hero of the day was Guilherme Santos, who scored both of Houston’s goals in his MLS debut, one in the 66’ and the go-ahead goal in the 77’. Santos had previously played for Brazilian Série A side Santos FC, where he made 429 appearances and scored 95 goals. As for the LAFC (1-0-0), they also got their season off to a nice start last weekend, but with a shutout win over Lionel Messi and the defending champions, Inter Miami (3-0).  Three different players recorded a goal: David Martínez - 37', Denis Bouanga - 73', Nathan Ordaz - 90'+4. With the win, LAFC is 4-2 vs. Inter Miami and improved to 9-0 in season openers. They last played on Tuesday, facing Real Espana in the Concacaf Champions Cup

Our Houston Dynamo vs Los Angeles FC Prediction

Houston’s defense has played well against LAFC, especially at home. However, their defense has struggled against strong, attacking offenses in the past, giving up goals in the process. They were able to take care of business last week against Chicago, but it will not be nearly as easy this week against LAFC. I’d lean towards taking LAFC to win, but the last five meetings between these teams finished with two goals or less.
