Houston Dynamo vs Montreal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The previous confrontation between the two teams ended in a draw.

Houston Dynamo FC are all set to host Montreal in the round 18 match of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. The interesting contest between the two sides will be played at the Shell Energy Stadium.

Houston Dynamo will be at home, but they might not be full of confidence as they are coming in after facing a loss at the hands of Sporting Kansas City in their last Major League Soccer game. They are currently in the 10th place on the West Conference MLS points table and will be looking to step up their game here.

Because of their lacklustre show of performances, Montreal are in the last spot on the Eastern Conference points table. After contesting in 17 league games, they have only been able to secure a single win. Montreal will be under pressure because of their form, and they will also be away from home in their next fixture.

Players to Watch

Griffin Dorsey (Houston Dynamo)

The 26-year-old American midfielder, who is mostly playing as a right-back for his side, is going to play an important role for the hosts here. In 17 MLS games this season, Griffin Dorsey has scored a couple of goals and has bagged five assists. He is good at controlling the midfield and can also help his side in the attacking front by creating some unique plays for them.

Prince Owusu (Montreal)

Montreal have only been able to bag a single win in the league this season. But Prince Owusu can change that and help them bag their second win of their 2025 MLS campaign. The 28-year-old German forward has six goal contributions in 17 league games for his side this season.

He is the top goal-getter for his team this season.
