Houston Dynamo vs Colorado Rapids Prediction: Please give us goals

Houston Dynamo will take on Colorado Rapids in the upcoming MLS match at the BBVA Compass Stadium. 

Houston Dynamo have been in poor form in the league and as a result, they had only 1 win in their last 5 league games. And Colorado Rapids are also struggling for form just like Houston Dynamo. In Colorado’s last 5 league games they had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

According to the league table, Houston Dynamo is ranked 8th with 18 points on the Western Conference table while Colorado Rapids is ranked 6th with 22 points.

Houston Dynamo have failed to win their last 3 games in a row. Houston Dynamo are hoping to put an end to the poor run against Colorado Rapids in this game. They have been unimpressive in recent times, as they had 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 league games. 

Houston Dynamo lost their last match against LA Galaxy a few days ago. The game ended 2-1 despite Houston Dynamo taking the first lead in the game. Latif Blessing scored the opening goal for Houston in the 18’ minute and then they conceded the equalizer in the 44’ minute. And in the second half, Riqui Puig scored the second goal for LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo were unable to find the equalizer until the end of the game. Houston Dynamo had the better stats despite the result. They had 51% possession, 3 big chances, 5 shots on target and 4 corner kicks. 

Colorado Rapids will also hope to put an end to their poor and inconsistent run. The Rapids won 2, drew 1 and lost 2 games in their last 5 league games. Which is pretty inconsistent for a team with such ambitions. 

The Rapids are without a win in their last 2 games in a row after playing a draw with Minnesota United a few days ago. The Rapids were trailing 3-1 by the end of the first half. Minnesota scored 3 goals in the 8’, 24’ and 33’ minutes, while the Rapids had only 1 goal from Kevin Cabral in the 18’ minute. And in the second half, Rafael Navarro scored Colorado's second goal before Kevin Cabral completed his brace in the 71st minute. The score was 3-3 at the end of the game. According to stats Colorado Rapids had 75% possession, 9 big chances created, 9 corner kicks, 8 shots on target and they hit the woodwork twice. 

In the last 20 meetings between Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids, there's been 7 wins for Colorado Rapids and 6 wins for Houston Dynamo while 7 games ended as a draw.

It would be interesting to see how each team reacts in this game. They are both top teams no doubt, but their latest results have not matched their quality. Both clubs will be out to win this game at all cost.
