Inter Miami vs. Houston odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Inter Miami vs. Houston odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami welcomes the Houston Dynamo to DRV PNK Stadium Wednesday for the final of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Houston odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

F Lionel Messi will have a chance to win his 2nd cup since coming to Inter Miami this summer. Inter won the Leagues Cup by defeating Nashville SC in penalty kicks in August. To get to where they are in the U.S. Open Cup, they beat 3 USL sides, then Nashville SC and FC Cincinnati. The most impressive win was in penalty kicks on the road against the Eastern Conference-leading FCC. Inter sits 14th in the East, but has been a drastically improved side with Messi at the helm.

Houston has exceeded expectations in league play this season. It is 17-7-11 (11 losses) and has a +7 goal differential, having scored 42 and allowed 35. It had to go through 4 MLS teams and a USL side. The Dynamo beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 on Aug. 23 to advance to the final. Houston is led in scoring in MLS action by F Amine Bassi, who has 9 goals in 24 matches.

Inter Miami vs. Houston picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Houston Dynamo 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-115).

The Dynamo have been awful on the road this season. They are 10-3-2 at home and 2-4-9 on the road, and they will be playing a side that, if they had Messi all season, could be a top-3 team in the Eastern Conference.

Inter is 2-1-0 with Messi on the Cup roster. Even in the draw, Miami has had more expected goals than its opponent in each home match. Couple the star power of Messi and M Sergio Busquets along with the trends in this location and back INTER MIAMI (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Houston has scored in just 2 of its last 6 road matches, and it has gone Under this total in 4 of its last 7 on the road. It just hasn’t performed well offensively away from home this season.

Inter has scored fewer than 3 goals in 4 of 7 matches since Messi’s arrival, and they have had 3 clean sheets in that span as well. With Messi potentially playing limited minutes, expect limited opportunities.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+120).

LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Dynamo (6 wins, 7 losses, 3 draws) visit LAFC (7-2-5) at BMO Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

LAFC is coming into this game after losing 4-0 to Houston on the road Saturday. It ended with just 0.7 expected goals, snapping an 8-game streak of having at least 1 expected goal. LAFC is led by F Denis Bouanga, who has 10 goals in 14 matches this season. It is unbeaten at home, posting a 5-0-2 record at BMO Stadium.

Houston is 0-6-2 on the road, but is 6-1-1 at home. It is led offensively by French F Amine Bassi, who has scored 7 goals in 13 matches. He is 1 of 3 Dynamo players to have scored more than 1 goal which has been an issue for Houston, which averages just 1.19 goals per game. It has lost 4 of its last 7 games this season.

LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo picks and predictions

Prediction

LAFC 2, Houston Dynamo 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

The Dynamo, as noted, have been awful on the road, so even though they demolished LAFC last weekend, there’s really no reason to assume they will do it again. On the flip side, LAFC has been incredible at home, but it isn’t worth the juice at (-210). Ultimately, avoid the moneyline and look to the total for value.

Over/Under (O/U)

TAKE UNDER 2.5 (+120).

LAFC has been shut out for 2 straight games, one being at home against Atlanta as well. It has scored 2 or more goals in just 2 of its last 7 matches. Similarly, LAFC has allowed just 14 goals on the season.

Both teams are stronger defensively than they have been offensively. In the matchup last weekend, there were just 2.8 combined expected goals.

Houston has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 5 road matches and has scored multiple goals in just 1 road match. It has been held scoreless in 3 of those matches as well.

Considering it is averaging just 1.19 goals per game, Houston should regress from its 4-goal performance this weekend. Given the value, take the UNDER 2.5 (+120).

FC Dallas vs. Houston Dynamo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Dallas vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

FC Dallas (6 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) welcomes the Houston Dynamo (4-5-2) to Toyota Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Dallas vs. Houston Dynamo odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Dallas has a strong 4-1-1 home record. It has scored 15 goals and allowed 12 through its 12 games this season. FC Dallas is led by USMNT F Jesus Ferreira, who has 8 goals in 12 matches. FC Dallas has won 2 straight games and 4 of its last 6. It is coming off a 2-1 home win over Vancouver  May 17.

The Dynamo, on the other hand, are 0-4-1 on the road, so it hasn’t been a situation they’ve played well in. They have scored 10 and allowed just 10 in 11 matches. Houston is led in scoring by French F Amine Bassi, who has scored 5 goals in 9 matches. Houston has failed to score in 3 straight games. It has allowed just 3 goals in its last 6 matches, though. It is coming off a 1-0 loss on the road to Minnesota United.

FC Dallas vs. Houston Dynamo picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Dallas 2, Houston Dynamo 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC DALLAS (-120).

Simply put, FC Dallas has been good at home, and the Dynamo have been bad on the road. FC Dallas is 4-0-1 at home, and it has outscored opponents 10 to 6. Houston has struggled away from home, having lost all but 1 road match.

The Dynamo have been outscored 9 to 3. Their offense has been awful and has really struggled to put anything together, especially away from home. Houston has had fewer expected goals in each road game as well, and its opponent has had double the Dynamo’s expected goals in 4 of 5 road matches.

Ultimately, take FC DALLAS (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (+100).

The juice is justified for the Under, but I would prefer the Over. FC Dallas has gone Over in 4 of 6 home matches this season. It is averaging just 1.25 goals per game but does have one of the league’s most dynamic scorers.

Houston, while it hasn’t scored well as of late, has tallied a goal in 7 of 11 matches and in 3 of 5 road matches. While it also has allowed just 3 goals in its last 6 games, it has given up at least an expected goal in each of those.

Luck may be in its favor this time, and for these odds, take the OVER 2.5 (+100).

Seattle Sounders vs. Houston Dynamo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Seattle Sounders vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Dynamo (4 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws) welcome the Seattle Sounders (6-3-2) to Shell Energy Stadium Saturday. Kickoff in the high-profile Western Conference battle is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seattle Sounders vs. Houston Dynamo odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

The Sounders still hold down the top spot in the Western Conference and are led by F Jordan Morris, who is in a 3-way tie for the most goals in the league (8). Seattle is just 2-2-1 on the road this season. Its strength has been defense, allowing just 0.82 goals per game. The Sounders are 1-2-2 over their last 5 overall.

The Dynamo are a strong 4-0-1 at home, having yet to lose. They are led by F Amine Bassi, who has 5 goals in 8 matches (7 starts). Houston has scored just 10 goals in 9 games but has allowed a mere 8. The Dynamo have had 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches.

Seattle Sounders vs. Houston Dynamo picks and predictions

Prediction

Houston Dynamo 1, Seattle Sounders 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+225).

The Sounders have played within 0.5 expected goals of their opponent in 3 of 5 road matches. Similarly, Houston has played within 0.3 expected goals of its opponent in 2 of its last 3 home matches.

It has also drawn 2 of its last 3 matches. Seattle is the better team here, but that is countered by taking to the road, where it hasn’t performed up to par.

Expect a close battle, and for the value, TAKE DRAW (+220).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-130).

The clear strength for both teams is defense.

Houston has struggle immensely to score and only have 5 players to net a goal this season with just 2 having scored multiple times. The Dynamo have scored more than 1 goal in just 2 of 9 matches and have allowed more than 1 goal in 3 of 9.

Seattle, on the other hand, has 6 clean sheets this season, including in 2 of its last 3 matches. The Sounders have allowed 1 or fewer expected goals in 3 straight games and in 4 of their last 5. Their offense has also been sluggish, having scored 1 or fewer goals in 4 straight games.

Ultimately, TAKE UNDER 2.5 (-130) as the best bet in this battle.

FC Cincinnati vs. Houston Dynamo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

To help commence the first weekend of MLS action, FC Cincinnati welcomes the Houston Dynamo to TQL Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Houston Dynamo odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati finished 5th in the Eastern Conference last season, having scored the 2nd-most goals (64) in the conference. They lost to the Philadelphia Union in the conference semifinal. They will be returning both their top goal scorers, F Brandon Vazquez (18) and F Brenner (18).

Houston, on the other hand, had a disappointing campaign, finishing 13th in the West, having 18 losses and a -13 goal differential. They will also be returning their top scorer, F Sebastian Ferreira (13). Houston had 12 losses in 17 road games last season.

FC Cincinnati vs. Houston Dynamo picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 3, Houston Dynamo 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

FC Cincinnati finished last season strong, defeating the New York Red Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. Houston, on the other hand, lost 3 of their 6 and 3 of their last 4 road matches.

The odds for this match are justified, especially with FCC at home and having retained most of their talent. Nonetheless, they aren’t worth a play at (-165). Instead, look to the total for better value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER ALTERNATE TOTAL 3.5 (+140).

The Dynamo topped this total in 3 of their last 4 games to end last season, and while that might seem important, the Dynamo didn’t do a ton to address their lacking defense, allowing 1.65 goals per game last season. Those same concerns for their backline should be alive.

FCC also allowed 1.65 per game and didn’t add much firepower on the backline, but both teams kept their key weapons. FCC averaged 1.88 goals per game and scored 15 goals in their last 5 home games to close last season.

Considering both teams returning talent and slacking backlines, back the OVER 3.5 (+140).

Colorado Rapids vs. Houston Dynamo odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rapids vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

In one of the seven MLS games Saturday, Colorado Rapids (8 wins, 4 losses, 4 draws) travel further south to take on Houston Dynamo (3-6-9) at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Colorado Rapids vs. Houston Dynamo odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Rapids are sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference.

Having played two fewer games than all three teams higher than them yet only down respectively four, five and six points, this match will have massive implications.

They’ll be taking on the 11th-ranked Dynamo.

However, while their record is ugly, Houston has yet to lose at home, winning three of their seven home matches. That said, Houston also hasn’t won since May 22. So they’ve been struggling to get the job done as of late.

Colorado Rapids vs. Houston Dynamo: Odds, picks and predictions

Prediction

Houston Dynamo 1, Colorado Rapids 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” on the DRAW +230 as the best value on the money line. As noted before, the Dynamo have yet to lose at home. The Dynamo are averaging almost two points per game in front of their home crowd.

While they haven’t won in months, they have drawn three of their last five and have drawn four of seven at home. Houston has the most draws in the conference.

The Rapids have drawn three of their last seven. With neither team being a great money line value, the draw is the best bet but just for half a unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET to the UNDER 2.5 (-120) as the Rapids have the second-best defense in the West. They’ve allowed just a goal per game. The only team with a better opponent’s goals per game is Seattle.

As for Houston, they’ve given up 25 goals in 18 games. There isn’t a top-16 scorer in this game as Houston F Maximiliano Urruti has the most goals of any competing.

Both teams have had four of their last five games go Under 2.5 goals, so I’d expect them to combine for less than three. This is the best value of the entire game.

Prediction

Los Angeles FC 3, Houston Dynamo 1

Money line (ML)

LAFC (-250) is finally getting healthy after a rough go of it to start the season. That’s in its favor here, as well as the fact Houston has just been brutal on the road. However, you can’t play LAFC straight up, as it will cost you two and a half times your potential return.

Instead, take LAFC/LAFC (+105) to win the first half and the match for a much better value on the alternate line.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+105) is worth a roll of the dice here. LAFC scored at least 2 goals in each of its past four matchups against Houston. Look for plenty of scoring in this one.

Also, play LAFC TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+145) for an added bonus.
