The Houston Dynamo are on the road again, looking to stay at the top of the Western Conference. We asked our staff for their predictions on the match against St. Louis City SC.

Cristian - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 11-6)

Another tough match up against yet another difficult opponent. This is the time to step up once again, and for all that has been said by the coaching staff and the players themselves, it seems like they are up for the task. St. Louis is also not a high scoring team, therefore it should be a tight match. 

Rudy - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record: 4-14)

Houston Dynamo have all the momentum, and I think they keep it rolling tonight in a tough place to play against St. Louis. But the clean-sheet streak ends here. Dynamo win 2-1 and get their revenge for the US Open Cup elimination.

Joey - no pick
(Record: 7-6)

Dustyn - 1-1 draw
(Record: 5-13)

It will be interesting to see what the lineup looks like in this match after a gritty 1-0 win in Vancouver on Wednesday. St. Louis have been in good form and they’re tough at home, as the Dynamo experienced earlier this year in the USOC.

Manny - no pick
(Record 6-11)

Juan - no pick
(Record 8-9)

Dynastats - 2-1 Dynamo win
(Record 8-10)

Both the Dynamo and St Louis are the 2 most in-form teams in the West, and I think the Dynamo will just edge out a win. St Louis have been without their main man Marcel Hartel, who got transferred to the Bundesliga, and his absence was felt in their last game, a road draw to bottom of the table Sporting KC. I think that St Louis will be much worse in midfield without him and the Dynamo can capitalize on his absence to bring all three points home.
