Houston Dynamo at Seattle Sounders 5/11/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Seattle have been missing key man Ruidiaz for some time and they have been really affected by it. He is now back from the injury and the Sounders will now look for their first win after four unsuccessful results. They will play host to Houston on Saturday, who have been really strong so far in the season.

Seattle (5-1-4) have been in somewhat of a slump lately, having failed to win each of their last four (0-1-3). In their last match they should be feeling lucky they got a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United. Seattle are having a strong season nonetheless, currently sitting at the 4th spot of the Western Conference with 19 points, just as many as Houston. Seattle have also remained undefeated so far at home (4-0-2). Houston (6-1-1) did a great job in their home match against Texas rivals FC Dallas, beating them by 1-2. That was their second consecutive win and 6th in their eight matches so far, as they are enjoying a tremendous start in the season. Houston are now sitting at the 3rd spot of the Western Conference with 19 points, three behind the LA Galaxy. They have only played two matches on the road so far (1-1-0), a 4-1 triumph over Colorado and a 1-2 loss against the Galaxy.
