New England Revolution vs Houston Dynamo Picks
Both these two teams have been playing like the top sides in the MLS. Their title ambitions are clear at their current form is only adding to their credentials. Both sitting third, a win in this game over in-form opponents should put the league on watch.
The only reason I’m taking New England in this game is their home form, but this is a tough game to call between two strong teams.
Other markets include Carles Gil to score and assist, Ezequil Ponce to have two or more shots on target and Matt Turner to make three or more saves.
