Houston Dynamo vs St. Louis City SC: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Houston Dynamo host St. Louis City SC at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM PT).

Houston Dynamo have no fresh fitness concerns to work around, and their attacking spine remains intact — attacking midfielder Guilherme has produced 16 goals and 68 chances created this season, while fellow attacking midfielder Mateusz Bogusz has fired 92 shots and chipped in 8 goals of his own. St. Louis City SC will again lean on strikers Simon Becher and Rafael Navarro, who have 9 goals apiece, with attacking midfielder Carl Johan Holse’s 6 goals and 20 chances created giving them a further route through midfield.

Houston Dynamo arrive unbeaten in 5 matches, a stretch built on 4 draws before last time out’s 1-0 win at Seattle Sounders, and that defensive discipline points to another low-key night at Shell Energy Stadium. St. Louis City SC, by contrast, have dropped 4 straight, including a 0-1 home defeat to San Diego FC and a 2-3 loss to Portland Timbers before that, with their defense looking exposed even as Becher and Navarro have each struck 9 goals at the other end.

Houston Dynamo vs St. Louis City SC Prediction

Houston Dynamo sit fifth in the West on 51 points, St. Louis City SC just above them in fourth on the same tally — both sides firmly in the playoff picture heading into the final stretch. Houston’s underlying form has been sturdier than the draws suggest, and with St. Louis having lost 4 straight, this looks like a game Houston edges by the finest of margins. We’ll take Houston Dynamo 1-0.
