Our prediction for this MLS match:
CITYPARK will host Sunday’s MLS game between St Louis City and Houston Dynamo. St Louis City have nothing to play for in this match as they missed out on a spot in the playoffs, but their pride will be at stake this time out. All Durkin, Ostrak, Pompeu, and Vassilev are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Seattle Sounders, with the team beating New England Revolution in midweek. As Houston Dynamo have a chance to secure a top-three finish, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side. All Ezequiel Ponce, Hector Herrera, Lawrence Ennali, and Nelson Quinones are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer the two sides played out a goalless draw.
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.
