Prediction: 4-0
Houston Dynamo
The Red Bull Arena will play hosts to New York vs Houston. Undefeated in their last five matches, and currently sitting in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, the Red Bulls will feel confident that they can beat the struggling Dynamo. Houston, after four straight defeats, have managed a surprising draw against Dallas which will give the players a little hope that they could maybe snatch a point or even a win against New York. Even though he didn’t score against DC United, Bradley Wright-Phillips will want to add to the 16 goals he scored so far this season. Houston has a few players injured, same as New York, but their top scorers, Mauro Manotas and Alberth Elis will be ready to play. Still, considering their current respective forms, New York shouldn’t have a problem recording a comfortable home win on Thursday.

Highlighted Team (Houston Dynamo):
Houston Dynamo are 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 colours of the club are orange, black and white.
