We said: Houston Dynamo 1-0 San Jose Earthquakes

Both Houston and San Jose have shown their defensive resilience in recent weeks, conceding just four goals across the last seven fixtures combined, and a tight affair between two evenly-matched teams could be in store on Thursday. However, Houston seem to have the edge in the final third at present, and we believe that the hosts will come out on top with a narrow victory.
