OSB’s Austin FC vs. Houston Dynamo prediction is the double chance — Houston or tie.

The big Texas MLS derby takes place at the Q2 Stadium in Austin, where home FC takes on the visitors from Houston, the Dynamo.

Austin chases the play-in spot and simply needs to come up with points to keep the pressure on Minnesota — Houston is also strained. Currently, Dynamo is only two points away from falling out of the playoff area.

Before Betting

FC began the campaign promisingly following the League Cup, beating Nashville on the road 0-2. However, when they needed to use the swing, Austin deflated, losing two in a row: at home to Vancouver, 0-1, and on the road, in Toronto, 2-1.

Josh Wolff’s crew stayed unbeaten in LA against FC from that city, playing 1-1 and snatching a point that was unexpected.

With four points fewer than Minnesota and five rounds until the end of the MLS regular season, Austin not only needs three points here, but a certain amount of luck.

Dynamo played well against the Whitecaps in Houston, having the initiative and a higher percentage of ball possession, yet failed to win. It was 1-1 after 90 minutes, a result that made the home fans leave the stadium unhappy.

Houston is undefeated in the previous four events, posting two wins and ties. Still, there is a feeling that the team had to be better and that, overall, this wasn’t their maximum.

We would also like to remind readers that Dynamo has the second-best road record in the West, with 23 points in 14 outings.

Austin FC vs. Houston Dynamo Prediction

The odds for a double chance, Dynamo or tie aren’t that high, but for us, so isn’t the risk for this pick. Houston is a better team, and it should stay unbeaten. Hence, this is our recommendation for Saturday’s contest.
