Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Preview and Prediction

Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps
Major League Soccer 2017
Date: 13th May 2017, Saturday
Kick-off at 2:00 UK / 3:00 CET
Venue: BBVA Compass Stadium (Houston).

We have seen two sides of Huston Dynamo in the new MLS season. They are firm and solid in home games, while extremely vulnerable on travels. The amount of home games at the start of the season has helped them to stay put in the league table. Their 6 games at their own backyard produced 5 wins and a draw with a healthy scoring rate of 2.83 goals per game. Meanwhile they lost all their three away games so far this season

While the Vancouver Whites were all over the place in the 2017 campaign. It took them four matches to register the first win of the season. Since then, they picked up 3 more wins at the cost of losing 2. However, they have been on the road for three consecutive weeks. And they are coming on the back of wins in the last two road trips. Just an evidence of this team’s capability to upset anyone on any given day.

Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Head-to-head

The Whitecaps remained unbeaten in the three MLS fixtures against the Dynamo last season. They won in one of the two home fixtures, while drew one each at home and away.

However, Huston Dynamo haven’t lost an MLS match against the Whitecaps. The last four have got them 3 wins and a draw.

Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Prediction

We tend to put our trust on Huston’s home form this season. They have a good momentum and are lethal in front of goal. It is true that Vancouver have grown in confidence in the last few weeks, but they have a poor record at Huston, which is expected to continue under the current form of both teams.
