Seattle Sounders vs Houston Dynamo Predictions

• Seattle Sounders are unbeaten after 12 games this season, with seven wins and five draws.
• Houston Dynamo are yet to pick up a win in six attempts on their travels.
• Houston Dynamo have scored at least once in all of their games so far.

Sounders can maintain unbeaten start

Seattle Sounders have responded well to their MLS Cup final defeat last year with an unbeaten start to the season and should be able to keep that record intact when Houston Dynamo visit Washington State on Thursday. 

The Sounders won their first three games of the campaign at Lumen Field but have struggled to get over the line recently, with three draws and one win in their last four home games. 

There is an argument for a point for Houston in this match-up as they have become the draw specialists of the Western Conference.  The Orange Crush have drawn six of their 12 games so far, more than any other team in the conference, but as they are yet to win on their travels this term a home win does look the more likely outcome regardless.

The Dynamo have lost both of their away games against the current top four in the West, going down 3-1 at Colorado Rapids and 3-2 at Sporting KC, and Seattle should have the quality to pick up all three points despite a few injury issues.

The Sounders aren’t particularly prolific in front of goal and have only scored more than two goals twice so far this season.  Seattle have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games and Houston are yet to be beaten to nil, so we think 2-1 looks a strong option in the correct score market.
