We said: FC Cincinnati 3-2 Houston Dynamo

 Houston Dynamo look a much-improved side under the helm of Olsen, but FC Cincinnati have home advantage, and they are undefeated in the previous two meetings between the sides. As such, we expect a narrow home victory, with the game likely to be a high-scoring affair judging by both teams' results in pre-season.
