We said: Houston Dynamo 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps

With just one point separating Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps, we expect both sides to go all out at the Shell Energy Stadium as they look to secure a potentially huge result in their playoff qualifying quest. Buoyed by their stunning display against Real Salt Lake, we fancy Houston Dynamo to secure all three points on home turf, where they have lost just one league game since the start of May. Read more.
