Bitesize Prediction: Houston Dynamo vs Seattle Sounders – 20/06/24

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 10/11 @ Pribet

In what could prove to be an enjoyable MLS showdown in the early hours of Thursday, Houston will welcome Seattle to the Shell Energy Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, while Houston might have signed off May with a much-welcomed 3-1 victory against Colorado, the Dynamos have continued to struggle with their consistency. Despite snatching a last-gasp 2-2 stalemate away at Atlanta last weekend, Ben Olsen’s men have recorded just a pair of clean sheets from any of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to a 2-1 win against Minnesota on April 14th. Likewise, along with recording just a single MLS victory over the past five weeks, Houston have also shown some rather glaring defensive issues. Crashing out of the US Open Cup last month following an infamous penalties defeat at the hands of USL outfit Detroit, Thursday’s hosts have failed to must a sole clean sheet from their previous eight outings. It should also be highlighted, Olsen’s side have seen seven of their last eight appearances finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Seattle might have opened up the 2024 campaign in the midst of a real nightmare, the Sounders have certainly turned a recent corner, Making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they secured a deserved 2-0 victory at home against Minnesota, Brian Schmetzer’s camp have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Extending on their US Open Cup adventure on May 23rd as they secured a 2-1 victory against USL outfit Phoenix Rising, the Greens could be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Skyrocketing their way up the Western Conference standings, Seattle will also be excited by a rampant record against Thursday’s hosts. In fact, Schmetzter’s side have won all of their last four consecutive meetings against Houston by an aggregate score of 5-1. In what could prove to be an enjoyable affair, we ate backing both teams to find the net.
