St. Louis vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
St. Louis' games tend to be high-scoring and both sides typically create plenty of goalscoring opportunities when they take to the field. Interim manager John Hackworth will be hoping to end the season on a high, with his side not having anything left to play for.
Houston Dynamo have lost just one of their last seven league games, winning four games in this run. They have been better on their travels than at home.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
