The only scorer from Houston Dynamo was Griffin Dorsey (90'). Cucho Hernández (40') scored for Columbus Crew.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Houston Dynamo have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Houston Dynamo have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals along the way.

📋 Team News: Houston Dynamo

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Houston Dynamo gaffer Ben Olsen to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Orange Crush should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Steve Clark, Griffin Dorsey, Franco Escobar, Micael, Ethan Bartlow, Jan Gregus, Artur, A. Carrasquilla, Sebastian Kowalczyk, Amine Bassi and Ibrahim Aliyu.

ℹ️ Team News: Portland Timbers

Portland Timbers manager Phil Neville has some current player fitness concerns. Marvin Loría (Knee surgery), Eryk Williamson (Muscle injury), Felipe Mora (Foot injury) and Claudio Bravo (Knee surgery) can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that The Timbers will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Maxime Crepeau, Juan Mosquera, Dario Zuparic, Kamal Miller, Eric Miller, Cristhian Paredes, Diego Chara, Santiago Moreno, Evander Ferreira, Antony and Dairon Asprilla.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Portland Timbers could find themselves struggling to register a score against this Houston Dynamo side who we reckon should score one, at least.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Houston Dynamo after 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
