The Houston Dynamo take on another road test tonight in Washington, D.C. We asked our staff for their predictions in the match against D.C. United.
Cristian - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 4-13)
Three ties in a row for the Dynamo and five without a victory for D.C. United. The Dynamo are playing good soccer but not capitalizing up top and hopefully that can change tonight against a wounded DCU.
Rudy - 2-2 draw
(Record: 8-9)
It’s safe to say that Houston is once again the Tie-Namo. They will face a team in D.C. who can score many goals and concede many goals. I expect Houston will hold most of the possession and earn a point against Christian Benteke and friends.
Manny - 2-0 Dynamo win
(Record: 4-12)
Welcome to the Ben Derby. D.C. has been struggling with recent form, winless in their last seven. Even though the Dynamo are on a streak of draws, they need to finish games and not let the opponents back into it. This will be the perfect game for Ben Olsen and the team to get the upper hand.
Joey - 1-1 draw
(Record: 6-11)
At this moment all the Dynamo do is draw games, so I expect nothing more or less until proven otherwise. D.C. have not been playing good soccer of late, but Benteke and Aaron Herrera will still pose a massive threat.
Dustyn - 1-1 draw
(Record: 5-12)
Ben Olsen should get all the love tonight but, can he take three points off his old team? This team keeps drawing games they probably should be winning, and tonight will be more of the same.
Billy - 1-0 Dynamo win
(Record 4-13)
I expect a tight match with the Dynamo grabbing a late 2nd half winner. D.C. is struggling for results and the Dynamo are struggling to maintain defensive prowess for the full 90. It'll be a close one but I'm taking the Dynamo by a narrow margin.
Gribbs -2-1 Dynamo win
(Record 5-7)
Houston has put together a productive number of results, even if they haven't been as fruitful as desired. So, to say they're due is an understatement. D.C. are just the team to bag three points from and on the road would be a good get for the men in orange.
