This match features two teams living in the basement of the Major League Soccer, Houston Dynamo holding 9th place and Colorado Rapids lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

The visiting Colorado Rapids played their last game only three days ago, a Major League Soccer match. That game was also an away game, at Minnesota United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
