Wednesday 5th July 2017 – Kickoff: 1730hrs
Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips
Houston Dynamo head into their Wednesday evening encounter with Montreal Impact having failed to win any of their last four matches in the Western Conference, as the home side look to break this run with all three points which could place them level on points with second placed FC Dallas.
Draws against LA Galaxy 2-2 and a 1-1 stalemate with FC Dallas have been sandwiched by defeats to Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids, but it should be taken into account that both of these recent losses were incurred away from home.
But at Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium, the hosts still remain unbeaten on home turf, boasting an impressive record of 7-2-0 25/8 which includes scoring 2 goals or more on no fewer than 8 occasions from their 9 home matches to date.
Visitors Montreal Impact sit third from bottom in the Eastern Conference as they make the difficult trip to Houston to attempt to tame the beast that is Houston Dynamo, especially on their home ground!
Montreal have picked up recent wins against New York Red Bulls and DC United, but both of these recent successes have been achieved at their Stade Saputo in Quebec, while on the road, they suffered a heavy 4-1 loss at Columbus Crew last time out on their travels.
To be fair, Montreal had put together a four-match unbeaten run on the road prior to that heavy loss at Columbus, but the step up in quality in today’s opposition could well be telling, particularly on the back of a long-haul trip.
Pick: Houston to win @ 1.70 bet365
