Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Sporting KC made it back to back wins in the MLS last weekend when they toppled Minnesota United 1-0 at home, while Houston Dynamo made it six league games without a win when they went down 5-1 at local rivals Dallas.

All of the stats suggest that we will see both teams score on Sunday and make Sporting KC the obvious choice as winners due to their current form and their recent performances against their guests.

Three of the last four meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score and Sporting KC have won two of their pairs’ last four encounters, 1-0 in Texas last year and 3-2 at home in the league two months earlier. The pairs’ last match-up ended in a 1-1 draw back in June where both goals arrived in the second half and a point each was just about the fairest result.

The form and performances of both teams point to a win for the hosts and goals at both ends of the pitch, as Sporting KC have won three of their last six matches in the MLS and Houston Dynamo have lost five of their last six. Both teams scored in four of Sporting KC’s and four of Houston Dynamo’s last six matches and the visitors are without a win in their last seven league and cup games.

Sporting KC have kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts, while Houston Dynamo haven’t managed to keep any during that same six-game period which is why we’re convinced both teams will get on the scoreboard this weekend. With wins in their last two home games, Sporting KC could double the points gap between the two clubs with another victory on Sunday and that’s just what we’re expecting to happen.

We’re confident that both teams will score this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of Sporting KC. The hosts are the form favourites and have won their last two home games but both teams have struggled for clean sheets which is why we’re expecting both keepers to be beaten on Sunday.
