Why bet on the Houston Dynamo?
Houston Dynamo is safe in this last game of the regular phase because, with its 51 points, it has qualified for the playoffs. They cannot move up any more places, but they could move down, although they will always remain in the first seven spots, which gives them a safe place in the next phase.
In their last game, they lost to St. Louis by 3-0 and also suffered the red card of fullback Franco Escobar, so he will not play against the Galaxy. Likewise, Héctor Herrera is a doubt, and it is likely that he will not play to recover fully for the finals.
Playing at home, this team has six wins, seven ties, and three losses, scoring 20 goals and conceding 14. They are undefeated in four home games with two wins and two ties and have only lost one game out of the last 11.
One of the problems of this team is the lack of a goal scorer, as it is the team that has scored the fewest goals of those that qualified in the Western Conference, and the player with the most goals is Ibrahim Aliyu, who has just six and has not scored since July 3.
Why bet on the LA Galaxy?
The Los Angeles Galaxy has been one of the best teams all season and is a strong candidate to be champion. With 64 points, they have the first place in the Western Conference and only need one more point to secure it, as their neighbors, Los Angeles FC, have 61.
Greg Vanney’s team has three wins in a row, although it has not been a great visitor, with six wins, four draws, and six defeats, scoring 25 goals and conceding 23 in this condition.
Their 68 goals scored to make them the third-best attack, and they have a great front line with Gabriel Pec, Dejan Joveljic, Riqui Puig, and Joseph Paintsil. The first two have 15 goals each, Puig has 13, and Paintsil has 10. In addition, the Brazilian striker has 12 assists, the Spanish midfielder has nine, and the Ghanaian winger has seven. Slightly behind is the Serbian attacker with four assists.
Marco Reus is expected to recover for this match and play some minutes to get into a good rhythm for the playoffs.
