Houston Dynamo

DLDLWL

Houston Dynamo will be wanting a better result here following the 1-0 MLS defeat last time out to Inter Miami.

In that game, Houston Dynamo managed 44% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Inter Miami had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. Morgan (57') scored for Inter Miami.

It’s not been often in recent times that Houston Dynamo have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Orange Crush have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals on the way. That pattern might not be carried forward into this game, of course.

📋 Team News: Houston Dynamo

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Houston Dynamo gaffer Tab Ramos to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Michael Salazar (Knee Injury) will miss out.

We are thinking that Orange Crush will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Marko Maric, Adam Lundqvist, Maynor Figueroa, Aljaz Struna, Zarek Valentin, Darwin Cerén, Matias Gabriel Vera, Carlos Darwin Quintero, Memo Rodríguez, Ariel Lassiter and Mauro Manotas.

📋 Team News: Nashville

Nashville boss Gary Smith has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ken Tribbett (Calf Injury) and Jimmy Medranda (Muscle Injury) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Nashville seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Joe Willis, Jalil Anibaba, Walker Zimmerman, David Romney, Daniel Lovitz, Matt LaGrassa, Dax McCarty, Randall Leal, Hany Mukhtar, Alex Muyl and Abu Danladi.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Nashville will manage to find the back of the net against this Houston Dynamo team, although it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Houston Dynamo at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s see what eventuates.
