On May 24, in one of the most memorable MLS matches of 2025, the San Jose Earthquakes drew 3-3 against the Houston Dynamo. The home team had a chance to score three goals, two of them from Judd, in less than 10 minutes, but Dorse equalized for the Houston Dynamo, sealing the final score at PayPal Park.

Now, these teams will meet again at Shell Energy Stadium, both fighting for victory, given that in San Jose's last 5 matches, combined with those of the Houston Dynamo, they have only won once.

The Houston Dynamo faced their previous match against the Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada with six players out due to injury. In that 1-1 draw, Brookly Raines was sent off and will not play against San Jose. As a result, the Texan team once again faces a match with six players missing.

In recent Houston Dynamo-San Jose match history, Houston has won each of the eight times they've hosted San Jose, though it was a 2-1 victory in the last match in March 2024.

Houston Dynamo - San Jose Earthquakes Key Points

  1. San Jose had eight shots on target in their last match against Houston

Our Houston Dynamo vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction

Saturday's match is likely to be a high-scoring one. Away from PayPal Park, the Quakes have conceded nine goals in their last three away matches.

The Houston Dynamo will need to be wary of San Jose's experienced Venezuelan striker Josef Martinez, who has scored in four of their last five matches.

Our prediction for Houston Dynamo vs San Jose Earthquakes is: Over 3.5 goals.
