Last Game: Earthquakes 2-1 Houston
Sunday, April 2 at 3.30am in Major League Soccer

We said: Houston Dynamo 1-2 Los Angeles Galaxy

Houston have been impeccable in front of their home faithful so far this season but now face a visiting side who will be desperate to earn a result at the Shell Energy Stadium. LA Galaxy undoubtedly have the talent to turn around their shaky start to the campaign, and we believe the return of Hernandez to the matchday squad will inspire Vanney's men to all three points in Texas.
