On the other hand, Houston is not far from the playoff standings as they currently sit in 8th position, making them only one stage away from Seattle Sounders with a gap of two points. Houston had a fantastic win in their last fixture against Chicago, which should be already forgotten so that the team can focus on their upcoming league games to clinch the playoffs at the end.
Both teams need the points; however, the game might end fair and square after a big battle. We expect a draw result at the end of the match with odds of 3.80 from Vbet.
With six goals and three assists in 16 games, the Mexican star, Carlos Vela, keeps performing and assisting his team in the front as he is expected to continue his progress in the next game.
