Two Western Conference contenders of the MLS, LAFC and Houston Dynamo, will catch up on Wednesday when they meet in California. They met just this weekend, but in Texas, and the Houston Dynamo crushed their rival 4-0, so Los Angeles is hoping to get even this time around.
The team from LA must recover fast from this setback, as it’s one of the franchises with fewer games in the season, meaning they can get a good advantage at the top when they get on par with teams like Seattle.
When:
Wednesday, June 14 at 10:30 pm ET at the BMO stadium
Moneyline odds:
LAFC -294
Houston Dynamo +600
Draw Offs:
+380
Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on LAFC?
LAFC can kill two birds with one stone this Wednesday: get revenge on the Houston Dynamo and reach first place in the Western Conference. The Californian team comes from being crushed by the same rival this weekend and getting their second defeat so far in the tournament.
Those led by Steven Cherundolo are third in their conference with 26 points, but they have only 14 games. Saint Louis City SC is the leader and has 29 points in 16 games, while Seattle Sounders has 28 in 18. Despite the 4 goals conceded this Saturday, they are the second-best defense in the tournament with 14 conceded, only surpassed by Nashville SC (12).
At home in Los Angeles they have done very well and are undefeated with 5 wins and 2 draws, however, they have only managed 5 of their last 9 points. In their last home game, they drew 0-0 with Atlanta United, while Denis Bouanga, the team’s top scorer (10), has gone 3 games without scoring.
Why Bet on Houston Dynamo?
The Houston Dynamo was a hurricane this weekend and with goals from Nelson Quiñones, Amine Bassi, Corey Baird, and Franco Escobar, they beat Los Angeles FC 4-0 and ended a very tough 2-game losing streak against Saint Louis City SC (3-0) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (6-2).
Ben Olsen’s team will have a very difficult mission this Wednesday: win their first away game. In 8 matches away from home this tournament they have 2 draws and 6 losses, scoring 6 goals and conceding 19, making it the worst visitor in the entire MLS.
Bassi, who is the team’s top scorer, has scored in 3 consecutive games, counting a US Open Cup game, and hopes to continue on that streak to give victory to his team that is in seventh position in the conference.
Final Betting Analysis: LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo
Undoubtedly, it will be a different match from that of the weekend since we have seen that LAFC is a very good local, while Houston Dynamo is a terrible visitor, in addition to the fact that the Californian team will want to take revenge for what happened. We think it will be an LA win.
At MyBookie.ag we find that LAFC is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -294, while FC Cincinnati has +250 and the draw is +275.
In the last 3 games that they have faced each other, the home team has always won and there are already 8 games without a visiting victory: the last one was on July 12, 2019, when Los Angeles won 1-3.
Go for a straight win for LAFC in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -294, you will gain $34 for a total payout of $134.
