CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will look to snap their five game winless run on Friday when they return to StubHub Center for the first time since May 2nd to face the Houston Dynamo. 


Below are a series of links, matchups and a predicted score ahead of Friday's clash.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH
Giles Barnes vs. Leonardo

With Omar Gonzalez still a question mark, Leonardo will need to lead the Galaxy defense as they look to stop the speedy Englishman. 


Juninho vs. Ricardo Clark

Perhaps the most important match of the game pits the two midfield commanders against one of another. Whichever is able to exert his influence on the game, will likely lead his side to victory.


Brad Davis vs. Dan Gargan

Gargan returns from his yellow card suspension and will immediately be tasked with slowing down Houston's Brad Davis. Look for Gargan to play Davis close to prevent him from sending in any dangerous crosses. 


PREDICTED SCORE

LA Galaxy 2 (Husidic, Zardes), Houston Dynamo 1 (Barnes)
