The 2024 edition of MLS is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Houston Dynamo take on an impressive Los Angeles Galaxy side at the Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and have a point to prove this weekend.
Houston Dynamo are in eighth place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against local rivals FC Dallas last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Los Angeles Galaxy, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The hosts were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Charlotte FC in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
