Houston Dynamo did a solid start in the MLS despite also playing in the CONCACAF Champions League. They were eliminated from that though and they will now focus on their MLS campaign. They will play host to Vancouver on Saturday, who have started the season a negative note.

Houston Dynamo (1-0-1) struggled in the opener against Real Salt Lake but fought hard to secure a point from that 1-1 draw at home. In their last match they saw the visiting Montreal “Impact take the lead a the 34th minute but pulled even just two minutes later. Manotas scored the winning goal at the 86th minute for the final 1-2. That win came in-between two losses against Mexican side Tigres in the Champions League.
Vancouver (0-2-0) will surely be feeling upset about the way the new season started for them. They were unable to take any points from the opener against Minnesota United at home where they lost by 3-2 despite taking the lead. In their previous match they played a really balanced game against Real Salt Lake but met their second loss with a slim 0-1.

Vancouver won by 2-1 in this venue last season before a 2-2 draw at home. They have been great in this match-up lately, losing just once in the last eight against Houston (4-1-3). But Houston have been excellent as hosts (4-1-1). I will go with Houston on this one, in what looks like 1-2 home win.
