Our prediction for this MLS match:
Sunday’s football game at Shell Energy Stadium pits together Houston Dynamo and Inter Miami. The Orange Crush continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they want to keep their 100% record at home intact. All Tate Schmitt, Ifunanyachi Achara, and Brad Smith remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Herons, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last five league matches. Since Inter Miami have been struggling in front of goal at the start of the season, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Houston Dynamo’s party at Shell Energy Stadium. As for the visiting side, all Ian Fray, Edison Azcona, Noah Allen, Robbie Robinson, and Gregore are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in MLS Houston defeated Inter Miami 3-1.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
Highlighted Team (Inter Miami):
Inter Miami is an American football (soccer) club that has been competing in the Major League Soccer since 2020. The Herons faced Los Angeles FC on their MLS debut, with the team suffering a 1-0 loss at Venue Banc of California Stadium.
Inter Miami recorded their first MLS win on August 23, 2020, with the team beating Orlando City 3-2 during the coronavirus pandemic. The Herons wear white shirts and violet shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
