Our prediction for this MLS match:
Houston Dynamo will be aiming to end their eight-game winless run when they host San Jose Earthquakes at PNC Stadium. The Dynamo continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, but struggling on the road, making this clash crucial for earning much-needed points. Head coach Sampson Hyka will be without Brooklyn Raines, who is banned, but the team still has enough quality to make life difficult for San Jose Earthquakes in front of home fans.
San Jose, on the other hand, arrive on the back of a three-game losing streak away from PayPal Park, and they will be looking to reverse their fortunes on the road. The Earthquakes are also missing Benjamin Kikanovic through injury, which weakens their attacking options and limits the threat they can pose to a determined Houston side. Considering Houston’s need for points and their strong home form, a home win should be considered this time out in what promises to be a tightly contested encounter.
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.
