Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo Prediction & Match Preview

• Colorado Rapids are winless in five straight clashes against Houston Dynamo.
• Houston Dynamo produced a fantastic showing in a 1-0 win over Portland Timbers last weekend.
• Only one of the previous six matches Houston Dynamo played in all competitions provided three or more goals.

Colorado Rapids are determined to make amends for a horrendous campaign in the previous MLS term. They got off to a fine start to the 2024 season. The Pids made it three straight games without a loss last weekend, holding Seattle Sounders to a 1-1 stalemate on the road.

Head coach Chris Armas can be pleased with the display Colorado Rapids have shown seven days ago at Lumen Field. They showed character by finding a late equalizer despite missing a penalty minutes earlier. Also, Colorado Rapids shipped just one goal in each of the previous three league fixtures.

The hosts will fancy their chances of getting another result this weekend as well. They take on Eastern Conference finalists from last season, Houston Dynamo. The visitors managed their first win of the 2024 MLS campaign seven days ago. They saw off Portland Timbers 1-0 on the home patch courtesy of a first-half strike from Aliyu Ibrahim.

Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

Colorado Rapids have improved their performances drastically from last season. However, we do struggle to find value in backing their win in this matchup at the 2.15 odds. The Pids can hardly be considered favourites against a team they’ve failed to beat in the previous five attempts. We can all still remember Houston Dynamo’s 5-1 drubbing of the Rapids in October last year. Moving forward, the visitors will come into this tie on a high following a big 1-0 win over in-form Portland Timbers. We were impressed by the performance Ben Olsen’s men have offered on the occasion. The main bet will thus be Houston Dynamo to win or draw double chance at the 1.66 odds.

Both Colorado Rapids and Houston Dynamo have been tough to break down in recent weeks. The Rapids produced a great defensive showing in a 1-1 stalemate away at Seattle Sounders last weekend. Only one of the last six outings Houston Dynamo played in all competitions saw three or more goals scored. The Under 2.5 goals pick is well worth backing at the 1.72 odds.
