When Los Angeles Galaxy travels to face Houston Dynamo at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday night, it will be looking for its first victory of this MLS season.
While LA Galaxy has yet to win in their first five matches - a sharp contrast to how it performed last year - Houston has had a mixed start to the season

Houston was defeated 2-1 by the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend, ending its streak of three consecutive victories. Christian Espinoza's two-goal haul from the penalty spot gave the visitors their third consecutive loss on the road.
This season, Dynamo has a perfect record at home, defeating Austin FC and New York City FC as 36-year-old Steven Clark managed to keep a clean sheet in each game.
Although it is far too early to be overly scrutinising the league standings, Houston's disparity between home and away performance places it seventh in the Western Conference, just one point outside the postseason zone.
Contrary to a 2022 campaign that appeared certain to end with MLS Cup success, LA Galaxy is amazingly one of just three teams in the whole MLS to have yet to win a match since the new season began in February.
Only Sporting Kansas City and Colorado Rapids have managed fewer goals in their season openers than Greg Vanney's team, who has struggled to convert scoring chances despite having a plethora of attacking quality.
