Houston Dynamo at Minnesota United FC 9/25/21 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Minnesota United did a great job against the Galaxy last week and they washed off two bad losses on the road. They will now look to keep the momentum when they will host Houston on Saturday. Houston are also coming off a big win against Dallas in the Texas Derby but they are sitting well below the playoff spots.

Minnesota United (9-8-7) scored two early goals in their home match against the LA Galaxy, and then another at the hour mark to eventually win by an easy 3-0. Prior to that they had two away losses against Kansas and Seattle, but those were their only losses in their last 6 (2-2-2). Minnesota are sitting at the 7th spot of the Western Conference with 34 points, scoring 27 and conceding 29 goals so far. They have been really solid at home so far (7-3-2), scoring 15 goals and conceding just 7 in the process. They have lost just 1 of their last 10 at home (7-1-2), keeping 7 clean sheets in the process.

Houston (5-10-11) are coming off a 3-2 home win over Dallas last week, in a match where they were leading by 3-0 till the 86th minute, conceding 2 late goals that didn’t really change anything. They are now unbeaten in their last 3 (2-0-1) but they will probably not make the playoffs this season. Houston are sitting at the 12th spot of the Western Conference with 26 points, 8 points behind Minnesota and the last playoff spots, having played 2 more matches. Houston have been awful on the road this season (0-7-6), scoring 12 goals and conceding 22 in the process.
