LAFC is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 5 of their last 6 as well as 7 of their last 9 matches with just 1 loss in that span, and that loss came against Columbus in the Leagues Cup Final which is a team they have struggled with recently. They bounced back from that loss in their last match with a 1-0 away win against Seattle in the US Open Cup and their attack has also been great in their recent matches, scoring at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches. Their defense has also been good as they have kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches there with no losses in that span. They have also outscored opponents 10-1 in their last 3 matches at home. They are going up against a Houston side that has not been in great form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their last 4 matches with just 1 win in that span. They just lost their 1st match after the Leagues Cup at home against Toronto 1-0 and their defense has struggled with 3 goals allowed in their last 2 matches. LAFC has been in much better form recently but they also have a stronger attack that will find the net on this Houston defense. LAFC has been much better on defense at home recently as well and Houston has been inconsistent with their attack. LAFC will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
