Montreal vs Houston Dynamo prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2021
In their last game of the MLS regular season, Houston Dynamo travel to Saputo Stadium to face off against Montreal CF, who have two games left to play.
The visiting side will be playing for pride in this inter-conference fixture as they have been ruled out of contention for a playoffs spot.
Montreal have a very narrow chance of competing in the playoffs and need to win both of their remaining games while hoping New York Red Bulls, Atlanta United and Orlando City drop points.
Houston Dynamo fell to a 1-0 home loss to Colorado Rapids on Sunday while Montreal suffered a 1-0 loss to NY Red Bulls.

Montreal vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
Montreal have home advantage for this game, having lost just three games at Wednesday's venue. Houston Dynamo will be making a long trip to Québec and that might work against them. The hosts haven't been highly prolific in their outings and a narrow win for Montreal is the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Montreal 1-0 Houston Dynamo
