The expert department of the website has developed a prediction for this confrontation on November 27, 2023.
Houston Dynamo periodically achieves success
“The Oranges” do not have the shortest list of trophies, despite the fact that the project was founded only at the very end of 2005. It won the MLS Cup pretty quickly, already in 2006, and the next draw brought the status of champion – it won the play-offs again. Then, however, there was only the US Open Cup in 2017. That success was repeated this year. Still, the club hasn’t been able to qualify for the play-offs for a long time; moreover, it finished in 13th in the West in 2021-2022. And now the team has improved its performance and, having taken 51 points in 34 matches, become fourth in the conference. The higher mentioned result allowed going to the postseason, where Real Salt Lake was overcome with great difficulty. Having won at home thanks to a late goal scored by Bassi, the team then played a 1-1 draw twice. It is remarkable that if it lost a penalty shoot-out on the away field, then the team won at the home arena, at the decisive moment.
Sporting Kansas City made it into the play-offs with great difficulty
“SKC” was founded in the mid-90s of the previous century. It goes without saying that it was impossible to remain without trophies for a quarter of a century in the realities of North American soccer. “The Wizards” won both the MLS regular season and the play-offs in 2000. Then there was another MLS Cup, in 2013, moreover, this team won the United States Open Cup 4 times. At the same time, the previous season was a disaster: it brought only 12th place in the conference. As for the current draw, everything did not go particularly well. Nevertheless, 2 victories in the previous rounds allowed clinging to the final 8th position. That result was followed by a positive game in the preliminary round – a penalty kick after a 0-0 draw helped eliminate San Jose Earthquakes. Then the team shocked St. Louis City, which is the best team in the West: an away 4-1 score and a home 2-1 result. And now the club is ready for a new sensation.
