New York City FC vs Houston Dynamo Match Prediction
New York City FC have not had much luck in this fixture lately, and I feel things will go their way this time. This season, Houston Dynamo have not had a lot of exciting performances, and their last meetings also showed their inconsistency. While New York City FC have been convincing, I feel being at home will also be a huge advantage for them. Away from home, Houston Dynamo might settle for defensive play. A bet on New York City FC is the best option here, while we expect a few goals.
