Prediction: 3-2
Houston Dynamo
Dallas and Houston face each other in the Texas derby at Toyota Stadium on Monday morning. Dallas have been impressive in front of goal of late, but they have been struggling at the back. The Toros are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Montreal Impact and we are positive that they are going to find the net in Monday’s football match. In their last home game in the Major League Soccer Dallas outplayed Minnesota United 5-3, with the team extending their unbeaten run at Toyota Stadium to six games.
Davy Arnaud’s troops, on the other hand, suffered four defeats in previous five league fixtures, meaning that the lack of confidence is likely to prove to be the team’s biggest problem in the local derby. Seeing that Dallas defeated Houston 4-2 in their last meeting at Toyota Stadium, home win should be considered.

Matthew Hedges is a 193-cm tall centre back who was born in Rochester, New York on April 1, 1990.

2017 was the most successful year of his career as he won the CONCACAF Gold Cup with the Yenks. USA defeated Jamaica 2-1 in the title game, but Matt Hedges was not given an opportunity to play in the final. His preferred foot is right.
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.
