Vancouver Whitecaps host Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer. CheckLive has no favourite flagged for this one, so there is no win-probability percentage to lean on. With the sides level in the head-to-head, this is a genuine three-way contest: home win, away win or draw.
Vancouver's recent form is a concern: they have lost three straight in the Leagues Cup, 5-6 to Tigres UANL, 1-3 to Juárez and 0-1 to Atlante, and have drawn their last two MLS games, 1-1 with Los Angeles FC and 0-0 with Minnesota United. Houston arrive in much better shape, winning four straight MLS matches — 1-0 against LA Galaxy, 2-0 against New England, 2-0 against Sporting Kansas City and 3-0 against Austin FC — before a 1-1 draw with DC United.
The head-to-head is dead level: eight previous meetings, three wins each and two draws. The most recent meeting went Houston's way, 1-0 back in May. That, plus Vancouver's patchy run, points to a tight contest, though the draw is just as plausible as either result.
