Prediction published on 17/06/2022, 08:12  by Daniel Ngulu in Major League Soccer Prediction

Orlando City, fifth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, will be at home to Houston Dynamo, who are placed ninth in the standings in the Western Conference. Hosts Orlando City have 22 points going into the game, while Houston are on 18 points so far. Both teams have had slumps in their recent matches. Orlando City’s only win in the last four matches came via post match penalties in the US Open Cup following a 1-1 draw with Inter Miami. They have no clean sheet in that run of four matches and twice in the four games, they have conceded two or more goals. In the last 10 matches across all competitions, Orlando City have managed just one clean sheet. Both teams have scored in eight of their last 10 matches. In the MLS, they have bagged just one win in the last five matches and will want a stronger showing after collecting just five points from 15 in the last five games.

Houston Dynamo haven’t also had a great run ahead of this game. In three of their last four matches, they’ve posted defeats. Their most recent game ended in a heavy 3-0 loss away to Real Salt Lake, coming on the back of a 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City in the US Open Cup. They’ve failed to score twice in the last four matches but they have two clean sheets in the last five matches. Houston can’t claim to have the best defence, with just three clean sheets posted in the last 10 matches, and it will worry them even more that in five of those 10, they’ve conceded two or more goals. Away from home they have four defeats in five matches and they’ve conceded two or more in each of the four losses. Three of their last five away matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they go into this game unbeaten in the last four matches against Orlando City.
