It's no vacation for neither Houston nor Dallas 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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Houston Dynamo at their home stadium is 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.
Houston Dynamo manager T. Ramos and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus LA Galaxy (placed 4th) in the Major League Soccer. Midfield player Darwin Quintero got a match rating of 8.32 in that game, the max score being 10. Quintero hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 6 of 9 times and had 38 successful passes (of 45 total).
Ahead of that match, Houston won a home game hosting Austin (3-0).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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost four.
Houston has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Houston have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Dallas form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dallas so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose).
Dallas has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to New York City for a Major League Soccer game that ended a draw (3-3). Midfielder Jader Obrian was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.4. Obrian scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 4 times. As you can tell from the result, the match against New York City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
