Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Steven Cherundolo and Ben Olsen to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as LAFC and Houston go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 2.25 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
