Houston Dynamo could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Major League Soccer game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Vancouver Whitecaps. 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.
