Seattle Sounders Houston Dynamo betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (MLS Cup ‑ Round 1) after having eliminated Portland Timbers with a home draw by (1‑1) in the previous round. For the league, Sounders won 23 points out of 30 possible points, after 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 12 of their last 17 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 34 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 17 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Seattle Sounders and Houston Dynamo will meet for the first leg of the MLS playoffs, the largest and most prominent soccer league in the United States. The Seattle Sounders are aware of the importance of starting strong in this matchup, especially since the second leg will be played away. Therefore, we can expect the home team to seek results and press for an away goal from the very first minute of the game.
