Houston Dynamo vs Sporting Kansas City Preview & Picks


Houston Dynamo eventually knocked out Real Salt Lake in the last round as they secured a win on penalties in their last match to secure a 2-1 series triumph. 

Sporting Kansas City eliminated St Louis City in a stunning run that saw City knock out the top side from the Western Conference. 

  • Dynamo won 14 of their 34 league games (D9, L11)
  • Houston have not lost any of their last seven in normal time (D4, W3)
  • City have won their last five in a row 
  • Sporting have seen BTTS in six of their last seven

Head-To-Head


City battled to a 2-1 win the last time the pair met, with the other two MLS meetings ending in draws. In their last 10, City have won six times, Dynamo have won twice and there have been two draws. 

Houston Dynamo Form 


Houston Dynamo have been excellent across the regular season, securing 14 wins and nine draws in their 34 matches, with this leading them to 51 points. Despite finishing in fourth, they were only five points short of St Louis at the summit, with this showing just how tight the conference was. 

In the last round, Dynamo secured a 2-1 at home before Real Salt Lake downed them on penalties. Houston then returned the favour in a gripping match in which they ran out winners on penalties to secure a 2-1 series win. 

Now, the Dynamo know that home advantage will count for a lot, but they cannot rely on that. Sporting Kansas have already eliminated St Louis and will not need a second invitation in this match. 

Sporting Kansas City Form 


Sporting Kansas City have had a real test on their hands just getting to the Conference semi-finals as they secured a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win over San Jose Earthquakes in the Wild Card match. 

They were given little chance by many in their meeting with St Louis, but City managed to eliminate the Western Conference leaders in two matches, winning 4-1 on the road before running out 2-1 winners at home. 

Now, with Houston Dynamo standing between them and a Conference Final, Sporting will have no fear. If they can get ahead in this one then they will really fancy themselves as they look to keep the home crowd out of the game. 

Verdict

Despite impressing of late, we are backing Sporting Kansas City's sparkling run to come to an end in a match that sees goals.
