Houston Dynamo form and stats
When playing at home in the Major League Soccer, Houston Dynamo have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Houston who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against Vancouver Whitecaps, 111 days ago.
The Houston Dynamo fans got no joy from their last match, a Major League Soccer game also here: A 0-2 defeat against Portland Timbers (placed 7th).

Picault hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that game, the home loss against Minnesota United with the scoreline 1-2.The manager T. Ramos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to LA Galaxy in only four days.

Austin form and stats
There's been little loot from Austin's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 12 away games in the Major League Soccer. Austin only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Austin in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Sporting KC.
Two away games in a row for Austin, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League Soccer. Midfield player Sebastián Driussi was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Driussi scored one goal and hit two key passes. It is probably bad news for Austin that their keeper Brad Stuver managed six saves in the Vancouver Whitecaps game, but still could not prevent a beating.
