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

Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United predicted formations

Houston Dynamo host Minnesota United at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, October 24 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).

Houston Dynamo have no fresh absences to report and should field their usual attacking spine, with Guilherme Augusto Vieira dos Santos pulling strings behind Mateusz Bogusz after contributing 16 and 8 goals respectively this season. Minnesota United also come into this one with a clean bill of health, meaning Kelvin Yeboah leads the line off the back of 17 league goals, with Anthony Markanich providing a secondary outlet in midfield.

Both sides arrive leaking goals at a similar rate to how they’re scoring them, and the shape of this one points toward another end-to-end afternoon at Shell Energy Stadium rather than a cagey affair. Houston’s +2 goal difference and fifth-place standing in the West give them the platform to push for the win at home, while Minnesota’s -8 difference and 13th-place spot explain why they’ve found points harder to come by on the road. Expect goals at both ends and a Houston Dynamo side with enough quality in Guilherme and Bogusz to edge it late.

    Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United Prediction

    Signal has this finishing 2-1 to Houston Dynamo, with the hosts’ extra firepower through Guilherme and Bogusz enough to see off a Minnesota side who have shown they can score but, at 13th in the West with a -8 goal difference, have struggled to keep teams out often enough to get results. Houston’s fifth-place standing and 47 points make them the side with more to play for at Shell Energy Stadium, and a 2-1 win keeps their playoff push on track.
