The match at BMO Stadium was one to forget for Cherundolo and his players. They had only 37.0% possession at home, which is quite humiliating for a team of Los Angeles’ stature.

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
Top goalscorer Bouanga is the player to watch in our key Houston Dynamo vs Los Angeles prediction, as he is by far the most important player for the visitors. Sure, they signed Olivier Giroud a couple of weeks ago, but the French veteran will need some time to adjust. In the meantime, Bouanga already has 16 goals to his name and will surely do his best to keep scoring.
Second player to watch: Hugo Lloris
World Cup Champion Lloris didn’t have a good game against Houston Dynamo a few days ago. He conceded two goals and will now have to make up to the fans with a sturdy display at Shell Energy Stadium.
