The Houston Dash are on the road for a match against Seattle Reign FC. We asked our staff for their predictions on tonight’s match.

Rudy - 2-1 Dash loss
(Record: 2-5)

Houston is unpredictable. When you expect them to dominate, they lose; when you expect a fight, they waste chances — then suddenly they score a banger and win. That said, I think Seattle’s home field gives them the edge over the Dash, who’ll battle to the end.

Dustyn - 2-0 Dash loss
(Record: 3-4)

This Dash team is still finding its identity. Seattle is as well, to some extent, but they have a slight advantage here, in my opinion. If the Dash can take a point here it would be a great result.

Manny - 3-1 Dash loss
(Record: 4-3)

The Dash have had ample rest leading up to this game. The real question is whether they'll play with enough consistency to overcome a resurgent Seattle side. Seattle has been building momentum and is starting to look like the dominant team of old. It’s a tall order for the Dash to get a result on the road, and it seems unlikely they'll pull it off.

Joey - 2-0 Dash loss
(Record: 2-4)

Just when we thought the Dash were going to pick up some momentum, they went and lost to a very poor Louisville side. Expect the Dash to look flat offensively while Seattle make it three shut outs in their last four games.

Diego - 2-1 Dash win
(Record: 3-3)

The Dash may be well-rested, but they haven't been able to build the momentum needed ahead of two of the toughest matches on their May schedule. The first challenge is an away game against Seattle—a fixture that has historically been a stumbling block for Houston.
