Minnesota United are aiming to maintain the pressure on leaders Vancouver Whitecaps when they travel to Houston Dynamo for an MLS Western Conference clash. 

The hosts are struggling to find their best form this season and have found things difficult at home lately. The visitors have looked sharp lately and having earned a series of solid results on their recent travels, can avoid defeat in Houston.

Houston Dynamo Form


It has been a difficult start to the season for Houston Dynamo, who have picked up just two wins from their 12 matches in the Western Conference. They are currently second from bottom and are seeking a spark to revive their season.

Ben Olsen’s team come into this clash off two straight MLS defeats, falling 2-0 at Los Angeles FC before losing 3-1 at home to Seattle Sounders in their previous fixture. The defeat to Seattle is part of a poor home record for Houston Dynamo, who have picked up two wins from six matches at Shell Energy Stadium, suffering four defeats in that run.

Goals have not been a problem for Houston Dynamo, who have scored in all six of their home matches this season. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of those fixtures, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Minnesota United Form


In contrast to Houston’s struggles, Minnesota United are enjoying a fine start to the season and sit second in the Western Conference, five points off the pace. They have won their last three matches across all competitions, claiming a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami in their previous MLS fixture. 

Minnesota United have also caught the eye on their recent travels and are unbeaten in their last six away matches across all competitions. They have won three of the last four matches in that run and claimed a 3-0 victory at Austin in their previous MLS fixture on the road.

Head to Head


Minnesota United have the upper hand in this fixture and are unbeaten in eight of the last 10 matches against Houston Dynamo, claiming seven wins in that run. The hosts are unbeaten in four of the last five away meetings earning three wins in that run and playing out a 1-1 scoreline on their last visit to the Shell Energy Stadium.

Verdict

Neither defence is looking solid at the moment and with both teams scoring in their last two meetings, a repeat is on the cards here. Thursday’s clash is also expected to offer up over 2.5 goals here, with three of their last four meetings producing a similar outcome.

Both teams are having contrasting fortunes this season, with Minnesota flying high and winning their last three matches while Houston are looking out of sorts. Given the visitors’ record in this fixture, an away win or draw is expected here.
