Griffin Yow

① New England have stronger home form and squad depth.

② Houston Dynamo will look to counter, but may be overwhelmed.

③ Prediction: 2-1 NE win with BTTS.

① Red Bulls enjoy home advantage and should edge a tight encounter.

② Key attackers for NY should test NE's defense while the visitors' midfield presses high.

③ Defensive solidity on show could keep clean sheets scarce with a few late chances.

① NYRB's home advantage could tip the balance in a tight game.

② NE's speed on the break will test the defense.

③ A narrow but entertaining win for NYRB with goals on both sides.
