Our prediction for this MLS match:
Atlanta United will be aiming to recover from a 3-2 loss to Charlotte when they face Houston Dynamo at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Five Stripes have been involved in some high-scoring games and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Defender Saba Lobjanidze is on international duty with Georgia, while midfielder Tyler Wolff remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Portland Timbers. Houston Dynamo, though, are not regarded as good travellers and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Hector Herrera is on international duty with Mexico, while all McKinze Gaines, Steve Clark, and Nelson Quinones are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. It is important to note that in their last encounter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Atlanta United crushed Houston Dynamo 5-0.
Highlighted Team (Houston Dynamo):
Houston Dynamo is an American professional soccer club owned by Jake Silverstein, Gabriel Brener, Ben Guull and Oscar De La Hoya, who is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time.
BBVA Compass Stadium is Dynamo’s home ground and the capacity of the venue is 22.039. Houston Dynamo won back-to-back MLS Cup trophies (2006, 2007), with the team beating New England Revolution in each of the two title games. It has to be noted that Houston finished the 2011 and the 2012 seasons as runners-up.
In 2008 the Dynamo made it to the North American SuperLiga final, but this time out their old rivals New England Revolution proved to be a big catch for the BBVA Compass Stadium outfit. FC Dallas are regarded as the club’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Texas derby. Houston have developed a rivalry with Sporting Kansas City as well. The colors of the club are orange, black and white.
