Prediction: 1-1
Houston Dynamo
Children’s Mercy Park will host Sunday’s football game between Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo. Sporting aim to extend their unbeaten run in MLS to seven games, but the match against Houston will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The Dynamo did well to beat Colorado Rapids at home in their last league fixture, but their away record is anything but brilliant, which is the main reason why we are not temped to put our money on the visitors. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in Kansas City the two sides played out a goalless draw and, taking everything into account, we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. You should know that the Wizards are on a seven-game unbeaten run at home ground.

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.
