Houston Dynamo

WWLWLL

Houston Dynamo will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 MLS defeat in their last game at the hands of FC Dallas.

In that game, Houston Dynamo managed 44% possession and 2 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target. For their opponents, FC Dallas had 25 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Petar Musa (55') and Sebastien Ibeagha (80') scored for FC Dallas.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Houston Dynamo have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Houston Dynamo have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 7 goals along the way. Nevertheless, time will tell if that pattern shall be maintained in this upcoming match.

St. Louis City

In their previous game, St. Louis City drew 3-3 in the MLS match with Sporting Kansas City.

For St. Louis City, the scorers were João Klauss (31'), Célio Pompeu (45') and Tomas Totland (92'). Alán Pulido (17'), Dániel Sallói (65') and Erik Thommy (77') scored for Sporting Kansas City.

Showing their predisposition for action-packed encounters, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the previous six matches in which St. Louis City have taken to the field, yielding an average of 3.5 goals each fixture. Opposition teams have managed 11 of these goals.

📰 Team News: Houston Dynamo

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Houston Dynamo gaffer Ben Olsen to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury) is out of contention. Griffin Dorsey cannot play in this game through suspension.

We think that Orange Crush could employ a 4-2-3-1 system this time with Steve Clark, Tate Schmitt, Micael, Ethan Bartlow, Daniel Steres, Artur, A. Carrasquilla, Latif Blessing, Hector Herrera, O. McKinze Gaines and Sebastian Kowalczyk.

ℹ️ Team News: St. Louis City

Thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to select from, the St. Louis City boss Bradley Carnell doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this match.

From our viewpoint, St. Louis City will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Roman Bürki, Tomas Totland, Tim Parker, Kyle Hiebert, Anthony Markanich, Tomas Ostrak, Chris Durkin, Rasmus Alm, Indiana Vassilev, Célio Pompeu and João Klauss.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that St. Louis City must be fancied to put a goal past this Houston Dynamo side, although it isn’t expected to be as many as they’ll concede.

We are anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Houston Dynamo at the end of this one. Hopefully this is a good one.
