Match Preview

The penultimate round of matches in the Western Conference are set for this weekend, and there will be plenty to play for when San Diego and Houston collide. San Diego will be aiming for back-to-back wins to end the season, which will secure their spot at the top of the conference standings.

They come into this match after going two without a win, and they suffered a hard-fought loss in their latest outing when getting edged out by San Jose. Despite dominating the ball, their attacking players failed to make the difference in the final third, registering just three shots on target despite accumulating 19 efforts.

The increased pressure this weekend is likely to fall on the shoulders of the home team. Houston will need to record victories in their final two matches to stand any chance of finishing in a playoff spot, as they currently sit two points adrift of the top nine.

Their recent form can be questioned, as the Dynamo have suffered defeats in two of their last three matches. Houston’s most recent loss was suffered on the road last Saturday after going down 2-1 against Nashville.


Houston Dynamo vs. San Diego Picks

Both Houston and San Diego have questions to answer this weekend after enduring patchy runs of form. However, with goals in short supply for both teams, it could be worth chancing a low-scoring draw in Texas on Saturday.
