Houston Dynamo vs Philadelphia Union Preview and Team News
Houston Dynamo Team News
In the upcoming clash, Houston will be without Andrew Tarbell and Erik Sviatchenko, who have been sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury and a muscle injury, respectively.
Also absent will be Nelson Quinones, who has sustained a knee injury and won’t be available for selection until the end of the month. Most important for them, however, is the suspension of Brooklyn Raines.

The Houston Dynamo currently sit 11th in the Western Conference and will be hoping to finish their campaign in the upper half of the standings.
Their recent form has been underwhelming, with three losses in the last five matches, including their most recent 0-3 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps. In that game, Houston seemed listless and appeared to lack confidence in the final third. Despite having 59% possession, they managed only two shots on target and recorded a disappointing xG of just 0.66.
Houston Dynamo predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-3-3): Bond; Andrade, Bartlow, Ortiz, Escobar; Artur, Urso, McGlynn; Bassi, Ponce, Ennali.
Philadelphia Union Team News
The Philadelphia Union, who were league leaders not too long ago, have a lot at stake as they travel to Texas. They’re currently ranked third in the table, having won just three of their last five matches.
In the most recent encounter, a 2-1 win over Montreal, the Union demonstrated their precise and incisive nature in the final third. They took a total of 17 shots, six of which were on target, posted an xG of 1.58, and registered 58% possession.

The Union's all-out attacking style gives them an advantage in every game that they play, and they’ll look to impose the same approach against the Dynamo.
However, their record away from home hasn’t been great, with only six wins, four losses, and a draw in their 11 outings. In their last three road fixtures, the Union have won just once and suffered two defeats.
Moreover, in the upcoming clash, they’ll have to make do without the services of Ian Glavinovich and Jesus Bueno due to injury.
Philadelphia Union predicted lineup vs Houston Dynamo (4-4-2): Blake; Wagner, Makhanya, Glesnes, Harriel; Vassilev, Lukic, Jacques, Sullivan; Damiani, Baribo.
Houston Dynamo vs Philadelphia Union Prediction
- Pick: Philadelphia Union to win or draw
- Odds: -200 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Houston Dynamo 1-2 Philadelphia Union
The Philadelphia Union have a slight advantage over Houston. Their range of passing is perhaps unmatched in the league, so the hosts will need to intercept and break up plays whenever possible.
If the Dynamo fail to do that, they’ll be left chasing the ball throughout the game and waiting for it to fall into their laps, from where they can rouse themselves and mount a measly-looking counterattack.
Houston’s form leaves much to be desired, especially when it comes to playing at Shell Energy Stadium. They’ve won just four of their 12 home matches this season – a surprisingly poor record that’s unlikely to improve in the upcoming outing.
Houston Dynamo vs Philadelphia Union Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -189 (20Bet)
Despite Houston's terrible record at home, we expect them to get on the scoresheet alongside the Union.
Philadelphia tend to cross the ball and use lobbed passes when the going gets tough. This makes them extremely hard to pin down, especially for a Houston side that have already conceded 22 goals at home this season.
The hosts will have to be on their guard throughout this match. Their only hope of scoring will likely arise when Union inevitably leave spaces open, especially on the flanks, while pushing forward with their all-out attack.
