Houston Dynamo vs Austin FC tips and predictions

Houston Dynamo can resist Austin FC challenge

A high quality exhibition of the home side's recent strike rate in front of goal should be decisive throughout this game. This surely won't be boring. There's not a huge amount of confidence in the match winner market though.

It's perfectly fine to think the visitors will come through but the feeling here is that the home side is the pick to come out on top.

You'll have your own take on this but Houston Dynamo might have reasons to be confident about adding to Austin FC's latest reverses. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 6 losses from their last 7 away trips. It doesn't sound like the recent record of a squad that will fancy their chances.

Is the home side in any form in their previous performances? Orange Crush have scored at least once in 17 of their recent 20 matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. In defence they have conceded no more than once in 3 of their last 4 home games.

Austin FC are looking a little shaky on the road. They've conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 6 away matches. But their problems don't seem to be soley in the first-third of their formation. Creating chances away from their own soil has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've been goalless in 5 of their last 6 away matches.

This is not a confident prediction though. They may end up in stalemate. Most observers believe that both sides can get in on the act as they could be well matched. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best bet from that market.
