- Charlotte have yet to win a game away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Houston Dynamo and Charlotte.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
Houston Dynamo have collected 15 points from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 4-3-2.
The followers are hoping that Houston Dynamo will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Portland Timbers (placed 8th). Defender Zeca got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.44/10. Zeca hit two key passes and won 7 of 11 duels.
Before that, Houston had a home game versus Chicago Fire which ended with a victory 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Houston Dynamo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 4.
Houston Dynamo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Houston are not conceding a lot of goals here at PMC Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.
Charlotte form and stats
There's been little loot from Charlotte's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 9 away games in the Major League Soccer. Charlotte only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Charlotte in their previous game as they lost hosting Austin, 0-1. Fuchs was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.35. The defender Fuchs won 6 of 7 duels.
A 1-2 defeat away at Montreal Impact before that.The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Charlotte have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
