Match begins: 00:30 (UTC)

The visiting Houston Dynamo side should be favourites in this visit to Dallas, as the away team holds a 4 point advantage from their ten league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Dallas nor Houston Dynamo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Houston Dynamo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
