San Diego and Houston Poised for Open Contest

San Diego score 2.3 goals a game at home this season while conceding 1.7. Houston average 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded in away fixtures. Over 2.5 goals landed in two of their last three meetings. San Diego have seen three or more goals in nineteen of their twenty eight league matches so far. Houston show just one win in five recent games and miss several players through injury. Those absences may leave gaps that allow more chances. The contest could open up early with both sides pushing for points.
