This match features two teams living in the basement of the Major League Soccer, Inter Miami holding 12th place and Houston Dynamo lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Inter and Houston Dynamo.
Inter Miami form and stats
Inter Miami, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Major League Soccer, have played 6 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Inter, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Happy days for Inter in their previous game, a Major League Soccer match away at New York RB (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Inter lost 2-3 at home to New York City.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atlanta United are coming to town in four days.
Inter has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Houston Dynamo so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-4 (win-draw-lose).
Impressive finishing from Darwin Cerén and Darwin Quintero secured the home win 2-0 against Dallas in their previous game. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Sporting KC.
Houston goalie Marko Marić was high and low in the Dallas game, contributing eight saves towards the victory.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Houston playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
After this away game Houston return home for a Major League Soccer game against Nashville SC. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Houston Dynamo have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. Houston have conceded 20 goals in these games.
