FC Dallas, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table and have also struggled this year. The away side played out a 3-3 draw with New York City FC last week and have a point to prove this weekend.

Houston Dynamo vs FC Dallas Prediction

Houston Dynamo have been shockingly poor in the MLS this season and have won only one of their last 18 matches this season. The hosts have struggled this season and cannot afford another debacle this weekend.

FC Dallas have also been underwhelming this season and will need to step up to the plate this weekend. Both teams are on an even footing at the moment and are likely to play out a draw in this match.

Prediction: Houston Dynamo 1-1 FC Dallas
