Friday night brings us more action across the atlantic and the MLS, with a Western Conference clash between Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps at BBVA Compass Stadium in Texas, as the hosts look for all three points which would take them top of the division.
With just the one fixture on Friday night, Houston can steal a march on their Final Series’ rivals as they can lift themselves from fourth to top with a win tonight. Their form on home turf has been impressive so far this season as they’ve registered a record of 5-1-0 17/5 to date.
Wins over Seattle Sounders, Columbus Crew, New York Red Bull, San Jose Earthquakes and Orlando City have them firing on all cylinders in their own backyard, along with attacking personnel of Torres (7 goals), Elis and Quioto (4 goals apiece) and Manotas (3 goals), the goals have been flying in recently.
Visitors Vancouver Whitecaps have also been in good form recently as they’ve captured three wins from their last four matches overall with wins gained over Seattle Sounders, Montreal Impact and Colorado Rapids to place them 6th in the Western Conference.
However, dig a little deeper and you’ll find that the wins have been against teams in the bottom reaches of the Eastern and Western Conferences, and this evening’s clash will be a much sterner test for them in Texas.
Vancouver’s away record currently stands at 2-0-3 6/9 which includes defeats at San Jose, Real Salt Lake and Portland Timbers.
In four meetings between these teams so far, Houston Dynamo have never lost to Vancouver and have won three of the four encounters to date along with one draw.
Pick: Houston Dynamo AH-0.25 @ 1.65 Bet Victor
