The MLS regular season will end this weekend, with Houston Dynamo hosting LA Galaxy in the Western Conference on Sunday (October 9).
The hosts are coming off a 2-1 away victory over Nashville SC last weekend. Sebastian Ferreira scored a first-half brace to inspire his team to a win. The Galaxy, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake at home. Sergio Cordova put the visitors ahead in the 25th minute before Douglas Costa leveled from the spot midway through the second half.
The draw saw the California outfit climb to fourth place in the standings, having garnered 47 points from 33 games. Houston are languishing in the penultimate spot in the Eastern Conference standings and have 36 points after 33 games.

Houston Dynamo vs LA Galaxy Prediction
Both teams have little left to play for, although the Galaxy need a positive result to hold on to fourth spot.
Houston;s poor form at home has been a major reason why they have struggled to climb up the standings. However, a three-game unbeaten run offers them the opportunity to end the season on a high.
Apart from their patchy home form, Houston's leaky defence has also been a cause for concern. With nothing left to play for, a high-scoring game could be on the cards.
