Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Houston and Kansas City fans should have some reason to cheer as their sides go head-to-head, with a match prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two sides are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, with equal threat among their respective squads. Both teams to score is our top tip.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Kansas City are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 41% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.10.
