The Houston Dynamo visit the Vancouver Whitecaps looking to maintain their tendency of playing to the level of their opposition. Specifically, the Dynamo have played their best when facing the top contenders in MLS. They managed to pick off San Diego on the road and drew with Philadelphia at home, but they also found a way to lose at home to Montreal.
And that’s why Houston is sitting on the outside looking in at the postseason: the Dynamo have only been able to play well when facing the right opponent. The Dynamo’s other problem is that the defense has leaked regularly. Houston has allowed goals in eight of its past nine matches, and when the Dynamo concede, they almost always fail to win. That included their recent match with Vancouver, a 3-0 loss on July 16.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
The Whitecaps have been on the road for much of the past month, playing just one home MLS match since June 25. They’ve performed admirably in getting 10 points in seven matches, and that’s kept them within striking distance of San Diego. Vancouver also has a game in hand on San Diego, and it’s been nothing short of outstanding on its home ground.
The Whitecaps have only failed to score multiple goals in two of their 11 home matches, and they’ve got six of their final nine matches in Vancouver. They’ve come up with three goals in each of their past two home matches, and they won their last home match 3-0 against Sporting Kansas City. Vancouver has scored at least three goals in three of five matches against Houston, and the Dynamo’s poor defense suggests that’s likely to happen again. Our prediction for Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Houston Dynamo is Whitecaps to Win and Over 2.5 Goals.
