REF’s picks

Houston Dynamo hold the clear upper hand at home against a struggling Sporting Kansas City side that has struggled defensively all season. Backing the hosts on the outright match result offers the cleanest path despite the short price.

1. 1Guilherme leads a potent Houston attack that can break down vulnerable opponents.
2. 2Sporting KC have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 consecutive regular-season matches.
3. 3Kansas City have shown some fight on the road recently and could frustrate the hosts if early chances go begging.
