Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Vancouver Whitecaps vs Houston Dynamo MLS Matchday 16 Game on May 31, 2023
- Where: BC Place, Vancouver, Canada
- When: Wednesday, May 31, 2023, 10:30 PM E.T.
- Moneyline: Vancouver Whitecaps (-140) | Tie (+285) | Houston Dynamo(+320)
- Over/Under (2.5): Over (-140) | Under (+110)
- Both Teams Score: Yes (-150) | No (+115)
Betting on Vancouver Whitecaps (-140 on DraftKings)
- Absences by Injuries or Suspensions: To be determined
Vancouver’s squad currently sits in eighth place in the Western Conference with 17 points, and their performance hasn’t gone beyond mediocrity.
Despite recording four wins, five draws, and an equal number of losses, their low score is indicative of their lackluster season so far. They are coming off a rough match in which they lost 3-1 to St. Louis City in the previous matchday, having conceded a goal as early as the 10th minute and sealing their fate with an own goal.
Probable lineup (4-3-2-1): Thomas Hasal; Javain Brown, Ranko Veselinovic, Tristan Blackmon, Luis Martins; Sebastian Berhalter, Julian Gressel, Alessandro Schopf; Pedro Vite, Ryan Gauld; Simon Becher.
Betting on Houston Dynamo (+320 on DraftKings)
- Absences by Injuries or Suspensions: To be determined
The team from Houston heads into this match in seventh place with 18 points, just one point ahead of their upcoming opponent in the Western Conference standings. However, this squad has yet to secure an away victory this season.
All of their five wins have been achieved while playing at home. This was the case in their last match, in which they defeated Austin FC 2-1 at home. Hector Herrera and Ivan Franco scored both goals to reverse their initial disadvantage and lead Dynamo to the victory.
For those who intend to bet on Houston Dynamo’s success, this match could be more than interesting, as their pre-match odds in DraftKings are (+320), meaning you could win $480 for every $150 wagered.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Steve Clark; Franco Escobar, Ethan Bartlow, Daniel Steres, Micael; Artur, Héctor Herrera, Adalberto Carrasquilla; Corey Baird, Amine Bassi, Ibrahim Aliyu.
JefeBet Prediction
With the teams of Vancouver and Houston almost evenly matched in the standings, it could be an interesting encounter as both teams look to climb into the top positions in the West of Major League Soccer.
The Whitecaps have recorded good results playing at home, while the Dynamo suffer when they have to leave their stadium. In any case, and given how hard-fought this match could be, at JefeBet we think that the game could end in a draw.
