We said: Houston Dynamo 2-1 Sporting Kansas City

Houston's recent blip in form is sure to provide Sporting Kansas City with a boost heading into Sunday's clash as they seek revenge against the Orange Crush following their slender defeat at the Shell Energy Stadium two months ago. However, we believe that the hosts will return to winning ways in front of their home supporters and consolidate their place inside the top seven.
