The Houston Dynamo are on the road, needing three points to climb back into the playoff picture. We asked our staff for their predictions on tonight’s match against St. Louis CITY SC.

Cristian - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 7-19)

Winless in their last nine, the Dynamo face a St. Louis CITY SC side with little left to play for—a match Houston not only could win, but must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Dynamo haven’t played poorly, but their finishing has let them down. If they can finally convert their chances tonight, they should return to Houston with three vital points.

Rudy - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 9-17)

The Houston Dynamo haven’t played poorly, but their struggles in front of goal have cost them results. Last week’s loss could serve as extra motivation, and they’ll have a good chance to bounce back against a CITY side in even worse form.

Joey - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 8-16)

The Dynamo face a must-win match against one of MLS’s weakest teams this season. Even in a difficult venue, Houston should look the stronger side and have every opportunity to come away with three points.

Dustyn - 0-0 draw
(Record: 8-18)

After last week’s loss, it feels like it’s time to start looking ahead to next season. This match could be a snoozer, especially for any neutrals who decide to watch this game on the first Saturday night of the college football season.

Manny - 0-0 draw
(Record 7-17)

It’s hard to see the Dynamo taking three points today. They haven’t created enough chances or controlled games to consistently earn results. On paper, this looks like one of their easier matchups left this season, but it’s still difficult to imagine them coming away with a win.
