Sporting KC v Houston Dynamo : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 19th Oct, 02:00 BST, Children's Mercy Park, Kansas City

Sporting KC and their boss Kerry Zavagnin will be looking to get one over on Ben Olsen and his Houston Dynamo side on Sunday morning, as the pair go head to head at the Children's Mercy Park in the Major League Soccer. We want you to make a smart bet on this match, so we've sifted through our expansive database and dug out the statistics that will help you do exactly that. Head-to-head and recent form are included, and it all goes into our algorithmic predictions. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are there to make sure you get the best return.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Kerry Zavagnin readies his troops ahead of kick-off, we're predicting a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Stats imply both sides are strong in attack, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the fixture, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 42% chance of Houston coming away with a win.
