Bitesize Prediction: Montreal vs Houston Dynamo – 05/10/23

Competition: MLS

Market: Houston Dynamo draw no bet

Odds: 21/20 @ BetUS

Hoping to widen their buffer in the play-off chase in the early hours of Thursday, Houston will make the trip to a struggling Montreal.

Starting with the hosts, while Montreal might still have their sights set on pinching a top-nine finish this season, Hernan Losada’s side are in the midst of a real MLS nightmare. Last seen over the weekend putting in another worrying display as they were hit with a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Orlando, the Impact are without a win from any of their last six straight appearances. Showing a string of issues on either side of September’s international break, Montreal could face another tricky test here. With their recent struggles highlighted by a 4-1 defeat against Atlanta last month, the midweek hosts have also managed to bag just a single strike from their previous four MLS outings. coming under plenty of scrutiny, Losada will also be concerned over his side’s extended issues on home soil. Including an action-packed 4-2 loss against Columbus on September 3rd, Montreal have mustered just a pair of MLS victories in front of their own supporters since the middle of June.

As for the visitors, while Houston might have been frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Dallas, the Dynamos should still find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Sat firmly in pole position to claim a play-off ticket this season, Ben Olsen’s side have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 appearances across all formats – a run that stems all the way back to August 8th. Heading into September’s international break with an eye-catching 2-0 win against Columbus, El Naranja will be smelling the chance to make a statement in the early hours of Thursday. Holding a three-point buffer from slipping out of the top-seven, Houston will be hoping to collect a maiden victory in Montreal. Losing just one of their last four MLS showdowns away from the Shell Energy Stadium, we are backing an away draw no bet here.
