Minnesota is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches, playing very well to start the season. They have won 2 of their last 4 as well as 3 of their last 6 matches and they only have 1 loss this season which came away from home against a solid Philadelphia squad. They have had a very potent attack in their wins and have been scoring a lot more goals with the players they have added to this attack. When playing at home, they have no losses in their 3 matches this season, beating LAFC but drawing against Columbus and Real Salt Lake. They are going up against a Houston side that has been in much better form in their recent matches as they have won 3 of their last 4 matches. They won 2 of those 3 matches at home though and have not played many strong clubs as they beat Colorado and San Jose in that span. When playing away from home, they have been much worse as they have lost 6 of their last 8 matches going back to last season and they only have 1 win in that span which was a 1-0 win against Colorado. Houston has not had a very strong attack away from home either as they have not scored more than 1 goal in each of their last 5 away matches, averaging under 1 goal scored per match in that span. Houston could find the net in this match but their attack has not been very potent away from home and they will not be able to keep up with the goals this potent Minnesota attack can score at home in this match. Minnesota has also dominated Houston in recent matches as they have won 7 of their last 8 meetings, and the only match Houston won in that span was in the US Open Cup so Minnesota has actually won their last 7 straight MLS matches against Houston. Minnesota will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
