MLS: Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Houston Dynamo FC
Vancouver Whitecaps FC Looks to Halt Seven-Game Winless Run
The Vancouver Whitecaps FC will try to snap a seven-game winless skid when they visit the Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday.
Vancouver (8-13-9, 33 points) is coming off a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes last Saturday. The Whitecaps have not won since a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 20.
Houston (10-13-7, 37 points) is also looking to get back on track after a 2-1 loss to FC Dallas last Saturday. The Dynamo have lost two of their last three games.
Vancouver is led by Lucas Cavallini, who has 11 goals this season. Deiber Caicedo has added seven goals for the Whitecaps.
Houston is led by Sebastian Ferreira, who has 10 goals this season. Fafa Picault has added eight goals for the Dynamo.
Matchup to Watch
The matchup to watch in this game will be between Vancouver's defense and Houston's attack.
Vancouver has allowed 45 goals this season, which is the second-most in the Western Conference. Houston has scored 38 goals this season, which is the fourth-most in the Western Conference.
If Vancouver can keep Houston's attack in check, they will have a good chance of winning this game.
Prediction
I predict that Houston will win this game 2-1.
The Dynamo are the more in-form team and they will be playing at home.
Vancouver has not won in seven games and they have a poor defensive record.
