Having come unstuck for the first time in several weeks, the Houston Dynamo will begin their recovery mission on Saturday evening, when they'll host an out-of-form San Jose Earthquakes team at Shell Energy Stadium. On home soil, Ben Olsen's men are not easy to take on, with the hosts winning five of their last six home MLS games. In contrast, the Earthquakes have lost three of their last four league games on the road, winning just one of their last six away fixtures in all competitions.
There are a few angles you could take here, but few appeal as much as 'Guilherme to Score' at odds of +155. The home-team hitman has been in solid form this season, and this game against a San Jose team that is struggling at the back looks like a slightly better opportunity for the Brazilian to notch than odds of +155 indicate.

Our Houston Dynamo vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction
The level of offensive form that we've seen from Houston's Guilherme this season points towards the Brazilian doing some damage here. He's up against a San Jose team that has regularly floundered at the back, with the visitors shipping 13 goals in their last four Major League Soccer games.
On home soil, Guilherme has often produced the goods, scoring in three of his last four home games, taking an impressive 15 shots in those four games. He's the likely danger man here, so much so that odds of +155 should be taken.
