There's Major League Soccer to be played at Inter&Co Stadium on Saturday. Following what was a hard-fought US Open Cup win on the road against lower-level FC Naples during the week, the hosts return to Orlando, where they'll be looking for a first MLS success in four games. Last weekend, they battled their way to a tie on the road in Columbus, picking up a less than displeasing result. The goal is to now build on that display in front of a home crowd.

Saturday's visitors won with plenty in hand during the midweek round of US Open Cup games, but this will be a much tougher assignment for a team that has been leaking goals all over the place. Last time out in MLS, they shipped six goals, while they've now conceded ten in two on the road, and are seemingly incapable of avoiding a high-scoring game. Given the clear lack of defensive structure shown by both the Lions and the Dynamo, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' looks like an even more obvious play than the early odds suggest.

Our Orlando City SC vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

Will both teams see this as a great chance to score goals and sharpen their offensive tools? Yes they will. To be honest, this is a fabulous chance for both teams to get serious in the final third, as neither the hosts nor the visitors know how to keep things tight. At the start of the season, it's been super open stuff from the Lions, who can absolutely hurt teams with the likes of Ojeda and Pasalic in the forward areas, but it seems they know little about defending, so expect another high-scoring game to unfold at Inter&Co Stadium.
