Houston Dynamo welcome FC Cincinnati to the Shell Energy Stadium for their MLS match. A win for the home side could potentially see them join Eastern Conference leaders Vancouver Whitecaps at the top of the table, as well as a place in the overall top four. However, La Naranja's form has stuttered of late. Since a fantastic away win at Whitecaps, Dynamo has only won one of their last five games. They will be looking at this game as a way of getting back on track. The Orange and Blue have themselves only won one of their last five matches, suffering two heavy defeats away to Nashville and Philadelphia Union.
Dynamo's home form has been very good this year. They've only lost twice on home soil, winning eight of their 12 games at the Shell Energy. Compare that with Cincinnati's away form. The Garys has won just once on the road, the joint-poorest away record in the entire MLS. They've also conceded 35 goals away, an average of almost three goals per game.
Houston is favorite to win this one and we understand why. For our prediction, we're looking at the home win.

Our Houston Dynamo vs FC Cincinnati Prediction
While Dynamo's recent form has stuttered somewhat, we think they'll get back to winning ways in this one. Cincinnati's away form is poor, they concede plenty and while La Naranja aren't exactly known for scoring lots (only Minnesota United have scored fewer on home soil), they should score enough to seal victory.
Our prediction for Houston Dynamo vs FC Cincinnati is: Dynamo to Win
