Preview
Houston suffered back-to-back defeats in the MLS when they succumbed 2-1 to Orlando in their previous clash last week.
Kara’s brace inflicted a 7th defeat of the campaign on the Houston side as they remain 10th in the league table with 18 points from 15 matches.
Houston has lost 4 of their last 5 matches across competitions and are just not able to find their feet during this time.
It’s been a tough road for them and consistent losses has dented their confident massively. With nothing less than a turnaround needed, Houston eye a positive result.
On the other hand, Chicago returned to winning ways with a 1-0 home win over DC United last week as Herbers scored the only goal of the contest.
This was their first win since March due to which they remain bottom of the table with 14 points from 15 matches which includes just 3 victories.
The only positive for the visitors is that they have won their last 2 H2H vs Houston which includes a 4-0 win for Chicago in September 2020.

Houston possible 11: Â
Clark, Lundqvist, Hadebe, Parker, Zeca, Vera, Carrasquilla, Picault, Rodriguez, Baird and Ferreira
Chicago possible 11:
Slonina, Sekulic, Omsberg, Czichos, Bornstein, Navarro, Gimenez, Herbers, Gutierrez, Mueller and Przybylko
Prediction: Houston 1-1 Chicago
Since neither side have form or momentum, we expect a stalemate. Even with Houston in 10th place, they lack the intent to gain results on a consistent basis.
