Inter Miami will look to get in the win column for the first time in Major League Soccer play this season when they battle Houston Dynamo FC on Sunday. After posting a league-best 74 points a year ago, Inter Miami opened the season with a 2-2 draw with NYCFC on Feb. 22. They defeated Sporting Kansas City 3-1 Tuesday in a Concacaf Champions Cup match, while Houston dropped a 2-1 decision to FC Dallas in last weekend's MLS opener. The Dynamo have won the last three meetings against Miami, including a 2-1 win in a U.S. Open Cup match on Sept. 27, 2023. Inter Miami will be without superstar Lionel Messi as he didn't travel with the team for Sunday's match. 

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston. Houston is listed at +130 (risk $100 to win $130) on the money line, while Inter Miami is +185, while a draw would return +250 in the latest Houston Dynamo vs. Inter Miami odds via SportsLine consensus. The over/under for total goals scored is 2.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here).
