The Houston Dynamo have lost 2 and drawn 1 in their previous 3 matches and are hoping to find points at home against the 6th place team in the Western Conference the LA Galaxy. The Dynamo's last outing against the Seattle Sounders was lauded for its possession and attacking oriented first half and was heavily criticized for its complacent and uninspired second half which saw a first half lead equalized by the visiting Sounders in stoppage time.
The Dynamo have had all players practicing which provides Owen Coyle with options.
