It's still early in the Major League Soccer season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Houston Dynamo - Dallas preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Dallas have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
Houston Dynamo have collected 1 point from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 0-1-0.
Houston travelled for their previous game, a trip to LA Galaxy that ended 1-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Portland Timbers (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Houston have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn zero and lost four.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Houston Dynamo as they are travelling to their away game against Sporting KC in the Major League Soccer. That match is four days after this one.
Houston Dynamo has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Dallas form and stats
Dallas have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. P. Ricardo was the goal scorer.
Dallas delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Nashville SC in their previous match; a Major League Soccer game. A 0-1 loss hosting Nashville SC before that.
Jimmy Maurer had red hot gloves after the game against Nashville SC, shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Dallas in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Dallas, one draw and three defeats.
Head 2 Head
