San Diego’s home form is strong, and they’ve scored freely recently. Houston has been resilient but prone to conceding, plus their last encounters saw goals from both sides. Odds favor a typical goal fest with San Diego edging it.

The teams are closely matched, especially in recent head-to-heads. A draw with goals either side is a real possibility, especially with the odds favoring scoring on both ends.

Houston’s recent form suggests they can grind out results away, especially if San Diego’s offense stalls. This prediction leans on a tight, low-scoring game, reflected in the higher odds for away win and clean sheet.
