📋 Team News: Houston Dynamo

The Houston Dynamo manager Paulo Nagamura will be thankful to have no fitness worries to speak of coming into this game owing to a completely healthy group available to choose from.

It’s our opinion that Orange Crush will probably employ a 4-1-4-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Steve Clark, Zeca, Tim Parker, Teenage Hadebe, Sam Junqua, Darwin Cerén, Griffin Dorsey, Memo Rodríguez, A. Carrasquilla, Fafa Picault and Darwin Quintero.

ℹ️ Team News: Seattle Sounders FC

Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Seattle Sounders FC gaffer Brian Schmetzer to be concerned about. João Paulo (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The Sounders might play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Stefan Frei, Nouhou Tolo, Xavier Arreaga, Yeimar Gomez, Alex Roldan, Albert Rusnák, Obed Vargas, Jordan Morris, Nicolas Lodeiro, Cristian Roldan and Raúl Ruidíaz.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Seattle Sounders FC will have to play well to get anything against this Houston Dynamo side who we think will likely score at least once to put them ahead.
