Houston Dynamo vs Colorado Rapids Predictions

Houston Dynamo were narrowly beaten in their last two away games and have now lost their last five matches in all competitions. Visiting Colorado Rapids lost on the road in midweek at Minnesota United but their form still looks good, with two wins from their last three matches.

The recent encounters between these two clubs and their results over the last month or so suggest that there won’t be many goals on show in Sunday’s match. Five of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals and two of the pairs’ last six MLS meetings have ended in stalemates, the most recent of which was the 0-0 draw in Colorado last year.

Three of Houston Dynamo’s last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and Colorado Rapids’ last match also saw under 2.5 goals scored, which suggests to us that we could be in for a tight and tense ninety minutes this weekend. Houston Dynamo have failed to score in two of their last four matches, both of which were at home, while Colorado Rapids failed to score in their last away game. With the hosts struggling to score at home of late and Colorado Rapids firing blanks in their last away game, a 0-0 draw could be on the cards when the pair clash this weekend.

Houston Dynamo have lost five and Colorado Rapids have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions, which adds to our prediction of a stalemate between the pair this weekend. A draw wouldn’t be the worst result for either side as it would put an end to Houston Dynamo’s losing streak and see Colorado Rapids pick up their first point on the road in three matches.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored in Sunday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Neither team is playing at their best right now and with the hosts failing to score in their last two home games and Colorado Rapids losing their last two away games, a 0-0 draw looks to be a realistic outcome.
