This time, Sporting KC is the road team, and is coming off a rare home loss to FC Dallas.

Prediction

LAFC 3, Houston Dynamo 1

Moneyline (ML)

LAFC (-143) will be without star forward Vela for this one, as he elected to skip the tournament to be at home with his pregnant girlfriend, also avoiding a potential COVID-19 situation. Missing the El Tri star and reigning league MVP is a big deal, but Los Angeles still has Brian Rodriguez and Diego Rossi to pace the attack against a Houston defense which coughed up four goals last time out against Sporting Kansas City.

Unless Dynamo head coach Tab Ramos magically found some defense during the hiatus, it’s going to be another long match for his group.

A $10 wager on LAFC (-143) to win outright nets a profit of $7. A $10 wager on Houston Dynamo (+340) to pull the upset would fetch a profit of $34, while a Draw or Tie (+325) would mean a $32.50 profit.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (-105) is worth a small-unit bet, as Rodriguez and Rossi are two talented strikers who could help LAFC to the over all on their own if they’re hitting on all cylinders. Yes, we’ve had a long layoff, but Houston’s defense looked that bad before the break.
