Minnesota United vs Houston Dynamo: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Minnesota United host Houston Dynamo at Allianz Field on Saturday, October 10 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).

No fresh fitness concerns have been flagged for either side ahead of this one. Minnesota United will again build around Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah, who leads the squad with 14 goals from 61 shots this season, with Anthony Markanich providing the creative spark from midfield after chipping in 8 goals and 32 chances created. Houston Dynamo will look to Guilherme Vieira dos Santos to spearhead the attack — his 14 goals and 58 chances created put him at the heart of everything they do going forward — while Mateusz Bogusz adds a secondary scoring route having struck 6 times from midfield.

Minnesota United vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

Signal’s model lands on a tight 1-0 win for Minnesota United, with Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah supplying the only moment of quality needed to separate two sides who have struggled for consistency. Minnesota remain 14th in the West on 29 points and well off the playoff picture, while Houston sit fifth on 44 points and still firmly in contention, but Allianz Field and a stuttering Dynamo scoring record tip this low-event affair toward the hosts.
