Houston Dynamo will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on DC United at Shell Energy Stadium in midweek MLS action. The Orange Crush went into the World Cup break with a 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy, but they impressed in their recent warm-up fixtures, recording victories over both Olimpia and America de Cali. Houston have been particularly dominant at home, winning all of their last four matches at Shell Energy Stadium while conceding just one goal in total. Ben Olsen's side average only 0.25 goals conceded per home game and have kept clean sheets in 75% of those fixtures. Goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer remains sidelined, but his absence should have little impact as he was not expected to feature.
DC United, meanwhile, resumed preparations after an entertaining 4-4 draw with CF Montreal before the World Cup break. The visitors continue to struggle for consistency, winning only two of their last ten matches in all competitions despite averaging 2.00 goals per game. Injuries to Dylan Nealis and Jacob Segal further weaken a squad that has found victories hard to come by. While DC have produced 1.71 expected goals per match over their last ten outings, they have also conceded 2.00 goals on average, highlighting their defensive vulnerability. Facing a Houston side boasting a perfect home record over their last four games, the visitors will have a difficult task on their hands.
Houston have won their last four home matches and boast an excellent defensive record at Shell Energy Stadium. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Houston's home games average just 1.50 total goals, with the hosts relying on defensive solidity).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 01:30.
