Player to watch: Amine Bassi
If our Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United predictions do succeed, it would be because coach Ramsay has found a way to nullify tremendous Bassi. Houston Dynamo’s attacking midfielder is the key creator on the team, with six assists since the start of the season.
Second player to watch: Ibrahim Aliyu
Aliyu is another player coach Ramsay must tread lightly with. He is the top Houston Dynamo finisher, with six goals scored since the start of the season. Surely, he’d be among the starters for his manager at Shell Energy Stadium.
