👉 Our prediction is: Houston Dynamo to win the 1st half

Houston Dynamo is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

That is why we recommend taking Houston Dynamo to win the first half.
