- Seattle Sounders have the most dropped points from leading position (21) in Major League Soccer
- Houston Dynamo have the most matches over the total-line (17) in Major League Soccer
It's quite the trip for Houston Dynamo when visiting Seattle Sounders as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.
It's no vacation for neither Seattle Sounders nor Houston Dynamo 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.
Seattle Sounders form and stats
The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Seattle Sounders at their home stadium is 7 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. When Seattle Sounders hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Sporting KC, Colorado Rapids, Seattle Sounders and SJ Earthquakes), they have won 2 of 2 matches!
Sounders are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Orlando City. Did Seattle Sounders get overconfident in their match against Orlando City? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Frei had a busy but productive day in the Orlando City match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. The attacker Lodeiro was declared "man of the match" for Seattle Sounders with a rating of 7.35/10. Lodeiro hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 43 successful passes (of 53 total).
Heartbreak before that as Sounders lost 1-2 at Portland Timbers's place.Both teams to score! That has been the case in 5 league games in a row for this side. Will it happen again?
A decent goal production from Seattle Sounders in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. On the other hand, Sounders have conceded 15 goals.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
There's been little loot from Houston Dynamo's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the Major League Soccer. Houston Dynamo only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 1 draw.
Ferreira and Dorsey scored in Houston Dynamo's previous match, the home game against Los Angeles FC that ended 2-1. Eureka; their first win in the league after six games not winning. Houston Dynamo goalie Clark was high and low in the Los Angeles FC game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Parker, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.44. Parker hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.
A 1-2 defeat away at Minnesota United before that.Goal-happy betting people should observe that 11 of this team's 12 most recent league games have ended with three goals or more.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Houston have scored 15 goals in 14 league games away.
