Houston Dynamo vs Austin FC Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 4/18/24, 7:30 AM  by Simon Day | Modified on 4/18/24 at 11:52 AM in Major League Soccer Picks

The Houston Dynamos host Austin FC at the Bbva Compass Stadium on Saturday, with the home side looking to move to the top of the MLS Western Conference table. The Dynamos have won four of their last five games, and are now just two points behind the league leading LA Galaxy. Remarkably, Houston are the second lowest scorers in the Conference with just 9 goals in 7 games. Their success thus far has been built on a rock solid backline, which has conceded just 7 times, the joint lowest in MLS. Austin are currently ranked a lowly 21st in the league, with their only two wins coming against the bottom two sides in the Conference (Dallas and San Jose). 

Surprisingly, Austin holds the edge in previous encounters between the teams, winning three of their five matchups, including a 3-0 victory the last time the two teams met. Houston have two wins against Austin, both of which have been on home territory.
