Houston Dynamo
- Houston Dynamo have won one and drawn two of their last three home matches in MLS 2025.
- This Houston Dynamo vs San Diego FC prediction indicates the home team have won only five, drawn three and lost eight of their MLS 2025 home games, but they are a decent bet to beat San Diego FC in a tight game on Sunday.
- Houston’s transitional play is the key factor in their success when it comes and they have the quality of Héctor Herrera to create chances from the middle of the park and an ability to hurt teams on set pieces and in the air.
San Diego FC
- San Diego FC are unbeaten in their last two away matches, winning one and drawing one.
- San Diego FC are a much younger side that can be open at the back.
- The San Diego FC gameplan is completely different, but Mikey Varas, who took charge in September 2024, has implemented an ultra-risky, possession-based system that emphasizes youth development and attacking bravery.
- Varas’ boys play a possession-first 4-3-3, inviting pressure on to them so they can launch rapid wide attacks and press high despite a youthful back line.
- The result of this approach is that the visitors have the third-best away record in MLS 2025 with 10 wins, one draw and only four defeats from 15 road trips.
Key Players
Houston’s Héctor Herrera is highlighted as a creator from the middle of the park and a threat on set pieces and in the air.
