Prediction
Our thinking is that Phoenix Rising may not find it easy to breach the defence of this Houston Dynamo side who we think will gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for Houston Dynamo at the conclusion of the game.
Should be an interesting one.
