United has protagonized the most dramatic downfall this season. After battling for the top in the first months, their form fell from a cliff, letting them out of the green zone. They lost again last weekend, this time against LA Galaxy.

Why Bet on the Houston Dynamo?
Houston Dynamo has eight wins, six draws, and seven losses. They are coming up into this match after a loss that broke their six-match unbeaten run, and now they are looking to bounce back quickly.
They saw their beautiful unbeaten run end in their last game against Real Salt Lake. It was always going to happen someday and they fought hard in that game but came up a goal short. Now they head back home against a team in the doldrums, giving them a chance to recover quickly.
With 30 points they are close to entering the top seven and the direct qualifying zone. However, they are equally close to falling from the Wild Card zone, so any slip could be dangerous.
Why Bet on Minnesota United?
Minnesota United comes as visitors, and the 10th-placed team has won eight, drawn five, and lost nine so far. The main issue is that they come from six losses in a row. They had a torrid second half of June, and July doesn’t look like a better month yet.
The club had not tasted a win since their 3-1 over Sporting Kansas City last month and now they head to the Shell Energy Stadium after losing to LA Galaxy 2-1. It wasn’t the worst performance of the team but doesn’t help them in their quest to recover. Teemu Pukki brought some illusion to Minnesota due to their late equalizer in the 73rd, but Gabriel Pec got his double and sealed the score in the 90th minute.
Final Betting Analysis: Houston Dynamo vs. Minnesota United
With Minnesota’s losing spree, there’s no chance anyone considers them to win this game or any other. Things are set for a Houston Dynamo bounce-back win andit’s a solid pick.
Houston kept a 6-match unbeaten streak before the defeat against Salt Lake last week and that sort of record only makes them confident that they can bounce back. We’re going all-in for a win for the team in orange by 3-1.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.68. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $68 for a total payout of $168.
