At home, LA Galaxy have been adventurous, lively, and unpredictable in attack. They beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 at home and comfortably defeated Charlotte 3-0, although home losses against Minnesota and Sporting Kansas exposed some defensive weaknesses. Their recent home matches have usually remained competitive throughout.
Houston Dynamo Balancing Momentum And Inconsistency
