Houston Dynamo vs Dallas Prediction
Houston have lost two of their last three games and have won just one of their last six. They are without a win in their last three home matches and will be looking to snap that streak this weekend.
Dallas, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their previous nine matches. They have, however, lost four of their last five away games this season and may have to settle for a point here.
Prediction: Houston Dynamo 1-1 Dallas
