FC Dallas vs Houston Dynamo Predictions

Dallas were held to a 3-3 draw last weekend away at Montreal Impact and will be looking to pick up where they left off after their last home game which produced a 5-3 win over Minnesota United. Visiting Houston Dynamo ended their losing run last time out with a 2-2 draw at home to Colorado Rapids but need to improve further if they are to return to winning ways on Monday.

The stats suggest that we will be in for a low scoring game between these two clubs on Monday and we’re putting our money on Dallas to win. Just one place separates these two Western Conference rivals but Dallas have six more points on the board and a much better goal difference than Houston Dynamo.

Four of the pairs’ last seven meetings have produced under 2.5 goals, all of which ended in draws, but Dallas won their last home game against Houston Dynamo. Neither of these sides are in the best of form right now but Dallas have only lost two of their last six matches, both of which were away from home, while Houston Dynamo have lost five of their last six matches, which includes their last two games on the road.

The performances of both clubs over the last month or so also suggests a lack of goals in Sunday’s match, as under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Dallas’ last six matches, as well as in three of Houston Dynamo’s last six games. The visitors have failed to score in two of their last four matches, against Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders, and both ended in 1-0 defeats.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored in Monday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 to Dallas. The hosts are the form favourites and lead the head to head record between the two clubs, and with the home advantage should possess enough to claim a narrow victory. Houston Dynamo are in dire form right now and can’t seem to keep any clean sheets, which is always a problem when you’re not scoring enough at the other end.
