Another of Saturday's eye-catching Major League Soccer fixtures, at least in a betting sense, is the one at Shell Energy Stadium, where the Houston Dynamo and the Vancouver Whitecaps will fight it out. Both teams were involved in midweek action, with the hosts losing by three goals to zero on the road in Utah, while the visitors returned from Texas with all three points.
Both teams were involved in goal-filled games last time out, but the hosts have often bene involved in low-scorers at home, while they won't want to go crazy against a Whitecaps team that often demands opponents sit back. Given that it would be rather foolish for the hosts to open up too much against the visitors, and given that neither team has exploded into scoring life in their respective home and away games of late, 'Under 2.5 Goals' looks leniently priced at odds of +130.

Our Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
After seeing both teams be involved in high-scoring games during the week, it's easy to assume that this will be a game blessed with plenty of goals. However, if we scratch beneath the surface, it's easy to conclude that the early market is applying an overly healthy dollop of recency bias to the over/under prices here. Quite simply, 'Under 2.5 Goals' is generously priced.
Each of Houston's last three home games has contained a maximum of one goal, with them keeping two clean sheets and failing to score during that time. The visitors have also scored a maximum of one goal in four of their last six on the road (in all competitions).
Our Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
