Houston Dash vs Bay FC staff picks

The Houston Dash are back at home for a match up with Bay FC. We asked our staff for their predictions on tonight’s match.

Rudy - 1-1 draw
(Record: 2-7)

The Houston Dash continue to be a puzzle of inconsistency. Just when it seems like they’ve found their identity, they put in a performance that feels like a shadow of their true potential. With Yazmeen Ryan sidelined once again, their attacking options look limited, which could make it difficult for them to generate real chances. Given the circumstances, a draw feels like a fair prediction.

Dustyn - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 3-6)

Without Yazmeen Ryan again, I’m not sure where any offense comes from. Bay hasn’t been the best attacking side either, so this game could come down to who cracks first over 90 minutes.

Manny - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 4-5)

Both teams currently sit below the playoff line. Bay FC made a bold statement with their win over Angel City FC, signaling a possible turning point in their season. Meanwhile, the Dash are beginning to look lost on the field, especially without Yazmeen Ryan, and their defensive structure appears to have unraveled.

Joey - 1-1 draw
(Record: 2-6)

Two bad teams battling on the fringe of the playoff spots, and I expect this to be a boring and ugly draw. Neither team has any firepower available for this game. Expect more naps than goals in this one.

Diego - 1-0 Dash win
(Record: 4-4)

It seems inevitable that the Dash will put in a better performance than their 4–1 loss to the Portland Thorns in the first match of their two-game homestand. This matchup promises to be a tough contest between two teams desperate to stay in the playoff hunt.
