Earthquake Stadium
San Jose, USA
Round 6 features two teams in the middle of the western conference. San Jose Earthquakes welcomes Houston Dynamo to the Earthquake Stadium for another exciting clash in the new season. The Earthquakes have been without a win in their last 2 matches, after losing to Colorado Rapids and holding Toronto to a draw in their last match. Houston Dynamo seem to have recovered from a horrible start to the campaign, as they have gotten back-to-back wins in their last 2 matches.

Houston Dynamo seemed to have recovered from two defeats in the first two games by winning their last 2 matches against Austin and New York City.

Amine Bassi scored the only goal that separated the two sides, as Houston Dynamo beat New York City by 1-0. Houston Dynamo had fewer possession (45%), but registered more shots on target (2) than the opposition.
Houston Dynamo are now 8th in the western conference, with 6 points from 4 matches played.

Expert Betting Tips
Houston Dynamo are on a brilliant run and they seem to be getting better with each passing game. They're also superior in head to head chats. However, I don't think they're clear favourites here, as they will be playing away to the San Jose Earthquakes, who are in dire need of a positive response. Expect an exciting game with goals from both ends to say the least.
