On April 11, the Colorado Rapids and Houston Dynamo faced off in a frenetic match that ended 6-2 and featured 36 total shots. More than a month and a half has passed since then, and the rematch will take place in Texas at Shell Energy Stadium. However, there are clear indications that this game could have an entirely different outcome.
Since that match against Colorado, the average number of goals in Houston's games has decreased considerably; in fact, they won 1-0 against both San Diego FC and Orlando City. In the US Open Cup, a goal by Ponce in extra time broke the deadlock in a 1-1 draw against Louisville City of the USL Championship.
This match between Colorado and Houston will be a duel between the 7th and 9th seeds in the Western Conference, two teams that, as their standings suggest, are volatile. Even so, sportsbooks are favoring the Dynamo with an implied probability of over 50% to win; this figure is due to the fact that the Colorado Rapids' away win percentage in their last 30 matches is less than 20%. In fact, they are coming off a loss in Canada against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Our Houston Dynamo vs Colorado Rapids Prediction
Bookmakers predict that the upcoming match could follow the pattern of previous encounters between these two teams, with both sides scoring in their last four meetings since 2014. However, Dynamo's last three MLS matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals.
Neither team will field their strongest lineups on Saturday due to injuries. Houston will be without either Nelson Quiñones or Halter, and McGlynn is currently unavailable. For Colorado, Rob Holding will be serving a suspension, and absences in defense will force the midfield to contribute more defensively on Saturday.
Our prediction for Houston Dynamo vs Colorado Rapids is: Under 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
