Our Predictions
Houston is slightly favoured at home, but recent tight matches suggest a low-scoring duel. Both teams tend to keep things tight, so a low goal tally and a home win make sense.
With both teams struggling to break down defenses recently and a history of compact games, a draw seems plausible, especially with both teams to score and fewer than three goals.
Although it's a stretch, St. Louis has the firepower to nick a win if Houston’s defense dips, and their recent scoring shows they can find the net. A high-scoring upset isn’t impossible, though less likely.
Welcome to Extratips, folks! Today, we've got a juicy MLS clash: Houston Dynamo hosts St. Louis City on June 29, with streaming kicking off at 00:30 in the US. Houston sits comfortably in 9th with 20 points and a modest recent form (LWDWW), eager to capitalize on home advantage. St. Louis, just above in 14th, hold 7 points but are fresh off a string of dull results (WLLDL). The last 5 head-to-heads? Surprisingly, no side has scored more than a single goal—they’re getting used to a defensive grind. Houston's home form isn’t flashy—just 2 wins in their last 5, with a mixed bag of results, yet their recent 3-0 victory over NYC gives hope. St. Louis, on the road, has struggled away, with only one win in their last five outings. When poking at strengths, Houston's solid at home defense and quick counters stand out. St. Louis’ resilience in tight matches is notable, but their scoring woes linger. Key factors? Houston’s injury list looks manageable, and St. Louis might struggle to find consistent rhythm. Expect a low-scoring affair, nervy but tight—it’s a battle of tight defenses and cautious attacks. Could be a draw, but Houston’s home edge gives them a slight nudge. Now, let’s see how to best wager on this one.
