Our prediction for this MLS match:
Houston Dynamo
Match Time & Date:

08:30 PM
Prediction: 2-3
Portland Timbers
Houston Dynamo will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to the likes of New York Red Bulls and Dallas when they host Portland Timbers at their BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday. Houston are on a ten-game winless run in the Major League Soccer and, as a result, they have slim chances of booking their place in the play-offs. However, Sunday’s football match against Portland could be the turning point for the hosts, therefore, we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field this time out. The Timbers, on the other hand, aim to retain their place in top six in the Western Conference and seeing that they have been in a fine form of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. In their last meeting in MLS Portland recorded a 2-1 win over Houston.
