*These DC United vs Houston Dynamo odds are subject to change
The bookmakers picked DC United as the expected winners on the 23rd, but the 37.5% win probability is hardly impressive. Coach Ben Olsen’s boys have a 33.5% win probability ahead of the kick-off, which is also quite high. We trust that a draw at +250 is the likeliest outcome on the 23rd, as there seems to be a 29.0% chance for us to see a tie.

Player to watch: Christian Benteke
Not only did Christian Benteke fail to score a goal against Charlotte on the 16th of June, but he also got himself booked. He is a yellow card away from receiving a suspension, but he will be among the starters for his manager in the game against Houston Dynamo.
Almighty Benteke must pull DC forward
With 13 goals since the start of the season, Christian Benteke is the leading finisher for coach Troy Lesesne. If he manages to maintain this momentum, he could challenge the likes of Messi for the Top Goalscorer Award this season and help prove our DC United vs Houston Dynamo predictions correct.
