The Houston Dash are back in action tonight in the Bay Area. We asked our staff for their predictions on tonight’s match against Bay FC.

Rudy - 1-1 draw
(Record: 3-9)

The Dash return from a strong break with two friendly wins and now face a playoff-hungry Bay FC. A draw feels likely as both teams find their rhythm.

Dustyn - 2-1 Dash loss
(Record: 5-7)

There are goals when these teams play and I expect we see more of that tonight. Avery Patterson and Yazmeen Ryan could hurt Bay on the counter but until the Dash find a consistent goal-scrorer up front, I think they will continue to struggle.

Manny - 3-2 Dash win
(Record: 5-7)

The NWSL is back, and the Dash have a mountain to climb. A win to kick off the second half of the season is crucial. Both teams enter this match shorthanded, missing players and looking to salvage something from their campaigns. The Dash showed signs of improvement during their summer friendlies—but will that progress hold up against NWSL competition?

Joey - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 5-6)

The Dash have an opportunity for some points against one of the other teams below the playoff line. However, Bay FC is just a stronger team and are at home. I think it’s close but the Dash will narrowly lose this one.

Diego - no pick
(Record: 4-7)
