Houston Dynamo form and stats
2 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Houston Dynamo have to build on here at Reliant Stadium in the Major League Soccer. Houston has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Nagamura and the players.
Houston Dynamo's previous fixture was a US Open Cup game also played at home, ending 1-0 against San Antonio. The home team are looking to continue in that form.
Prior to that, an away loss at DC United in the Major League Soccer.This is expected to be a close game, with Houston Dynamo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Houston as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Houston Dynamo has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 8.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Houston Dynamo, as the Major League Soccer home game vs Seattle Sounders is only four days away.
