Houston are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Nashville SC last weekend, where they were reduced to 10 men after Erik Sviatchenko’s ninth-minute red card. Though Junior Urso briefly pulled them level, they couldn’t hold on and conceded twice early in the second half.
The Dynamo remain 12th in the West with 36 points, just two points off the playoff places, and will be desperate to bounce back at home. However, they’ve not won consecutive home matches in over a year, highlighting their inconsistency at Shell Energy Stadium.
Betting on San Diego FC
- Spread: –0.25
- Moneyline: 2.40
- O/U: Over 2.5
San Diego were narrowly beaten 1-0 at home by San Jose Earthquakes last time out, with Josef Martínez scoring the game’s lone goal. Despite that setback, they remain top of the Western Conference with 57 points from 32 matches.
Sean Kelley’s side have been excellent on the road this season, boasting the best away record in the conference (31 points from 15 away games), which should give them confidence heading into Houston.
MatchPlug Prediction for Houston Dynamo vs San Diego FC
Houston’s need for points and home support will drive them forward, but San Diego’s clinical away form makes them tough opponents. Expect an open contest with chances at both ends, but the league leaders should edge it.
Final Prediction: San Diego FC to Win 2-1 in Houston Dynamo vs San Diego FC.
