The season is still fairly new and the Major League Soccer table has to be read with caution. So far Colorado Rapids find themselves in 3rd position and Houston Dynamo are placed 12th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Houston Dynamo, who are travelling more than 1600 kilometers to play this game.
Colorado Rapids form and stats
The hosts won their first Major League Soccer game here at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Colorado Rapids last season were 9 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from 17 games.

Houston Dynamo form and stats
