The flickering orange lights in Houston do not seem to glow at all. With the coming of its 20th season in MLS, the Dynamo hopes that whatever pride they create by celebrating will become infectious and result in better performances on the pitch. They currently sit 13th in the Western Conference, with only 1 win out of 8 games, and that would tell you this: Houston's getting off to a rocky start. Yet there are signs of life-little flashes of hope within a group still trying to find rhythm under trying circumstances.

Their five-match recent form shows some inconsistency (W-D-L-W-D) but have managed to win a couple at home; the Shell Energy Stadium has yet to become a fortress (Home form: L-L-L-W-W). Their last match was a 1-1 draw (against LA Galaxy) where E. Ponce put slightly flame to a fiery night. Although they had 58% possession with 7 corners provided, it unfortunately only equaled 3 shots on target-an interesting figure to note given their history of few high-quality deliveries converted into danger.

But outside the stadium might bring out lifted spirits-Special celebration night will be held on May 10, featuring former players, legacy kits, and other goodies for fans. They have improved the backline even more by signing former Watford and LA Galaxy keeper Jonathan Bond. Known for his cool head and quick reactions, Bond is expected to help remedy the situation in the goal following Andrew Tarbell's season-ending injury.

🔖 Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1): B. Gillingham – F. Escobar, O. Awodesu, Erik Sviatchenko, G. Dorsey – B. Raines, Artur – S. Kowalczyk, A. Bassi, Jack McGlynn – E. Ponce

⛔️ Out: Jimmy Maurer, D. Holmes, Junior Urso, A. Tarbell, L. Ennali

👤Head coach:Ben Olsen

The Colorado Rapids are slowly edging into place among the Western table-and fast. They have built quietly but very effective damage: they now 5th on the ladder with the record of 4W-2D-2 L and still much momentum. Their own forward movement has proved not perfect, but this is a fearless team; they fight fearlessly, particularly having the edge when they attack. 

In recent form, the five matches ended in results like W-L-W-L-W, having captivated offensive ambition with their susceptibility at the defense. Dangerous looks have also characterized their services while traveling (Away: D-L-W-W-L), with their latest results flagging an exciting 3-2 shootout against San Diego, which showcased this team's guts to fight through the muck to see some wins. The offense came through from Djordje Mihailovic, Darren Yapi, and Rafael Navarro in formulating the comeback despite a possession deficit (38%) with a ruthless finishing 8 shots on target.

Mihailovic is The Man at present. The midfielder has been crowned MLS Player of the Week after putting away a brace against Charlotte, and his contribution is great; Rapids are 7-0 in games played when he has 2 or more goal involvement. Coincidence? That's a blueprint.

Another youth goalkeeper is converted from Rapids 2 to the first team. Though at the moment, the primary custodian is Zack Steffen; the rise of Hansen will speak well of their youth pipeline.

🔖 Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Zack Steffen – Samuel Vines, C. Awaziem, A. Maxsø, Reggie Cannon – J. Atencio, Oliver Larraz – Darren Yapi, C. Bassett, D. Mihailovic – Rafael Navarro

⛔️ Out: A. Beaudry, Ali Fadal

👤Head coach: Chris Armas

Houston Wins: 17 | Colorado Wins: 15 | Draws: 13

Houston have really been dominating the games recently. They are now on a run of 3 straight wins in head-to-heads and no defeats in the last 7 against Colorado. The Rapids conceded the same 3 goals in all 3 matches played against Houston. Interestingly, in the last 7, both teams scored in 5 matches-an awesome pointer to BTTS tipsters.

  • Both teams have been scoring goals and conceding goals. The Houston defense has been leaky, whereas Colorado's attack is firing. The prediction on actions at both ends should materialize. (BTTS ~ 1.72 odds)
  • Lately, the games they played have scored high. Houston is more at home, scoring more goals, and Colorado's forwards (especially Mihailovic) are red hot. (Over 2.5 goals ~ 1.856 odds)
  • Colorado has better form and an edge in attack. After a game draw selection, in case of a game draw one gets refunded their wager. (Colorado Double Chance ~ 1.947 odds)
  • Houston has more than 9 corners hit on four of its last five. With two teams opening wide, expect a bunch of corners because they will both create set-piece chance opportunities. (Over 9 Corners ~ 1.80 odds)

This game is pitting a struggling Houston side against an in-form, unpredictable Colorado Rapids. Houston would like to capitalize on being at home and having their 20th season celebrations, while Colorado's firepower and midfield control-mihailovic-could be a little bit too much for the home team. Expect goals, chances, and a good matchup. 

Here are the Top 3 Betting Tips for this game:

⚽ Match prediction 1: BTTS Yes @ 1.72 odds 

⚽ Match prediction 2: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.856 odds

⚽ Match prediction 3: Colorado Rapids Double Chance @ 1.947 odds
