LA Galaxy have done well to keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive by beating Minnesota United in their last game. As they head into this final game of the season, they know that a draw would be more than enough to help them finish inside the top six, and a Houston Dynamo side who has nothing to play for should be the perfect opponent.
They won their last game 3-1 thanks to a goal and an assist from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has rolled back the years to score a whopping 22 goals in the MLS this season, with the backing of his teammates, they look poised to challenge for the MLS title at the playoffs.
Houston Dynamo has won this season’s US Open Cup and even though they are not in contention for a place in the playoffs, their fans would feel that this is a successful season.
even with just one league position to play for Houston Dynamo gave Seattle Sounders a good game when the pair met in Texas last weekend. Marshall scored in the twenty-sixth minute to hand Seattle Sounders the lead at halftime, and four minutes after the restart Svensson added a second goal for the visitors.
The comeback appeared to be on when Garcia halved the deficit for Houston Dynamo, but despite pushing forward in search of an equaliser it was Seattle than struck next through Ruidíaz to wrap up all three points. Manotas did manage to pull another goal back for the hosts in the eighty-ninth minute, but there wasn’t enough time left in the match for Houston to rescue a draw.
These two sides have met thirty times before, and with 13 wins, 7 draws, and 10 defeats its LA Galaxy that lead the head to head record.
