This league campaign has been a rollercoaster for these participants so far, both rise and fall leading to mid-table positions so far. Pave the way for Vancouver Whitecaps - Houston Dynamo!
- Vancouver Whitecaps have the most dropped points from leading position (11) in Major League Soccer
- Houston Dynamo have yet to win a game away.
0 - 0 - 5 with 4-11. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Houston Dynamo when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Houston Dynamo play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Houston Dynamo, who are travelling more than 3900 kilometers to play this game.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats
Vancouver Whitecaps have performed here at BC Place Stadium this season with 4 wins from 7 Major League Soccer matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Vancouver after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The regulars are hoping that Vancouver Whitecaps will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against Saint Louis City (placed 2nd). Midfielder Gressel was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.05 (out of ten) in that game. Gressel served one assist and hit five key passes.
Before that, a nice away win at Pacific. A Championship match.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Vancouver, as the Major League Soccer home game vs Sporting KC is only three days away.
A decent goal production from Vancouver Whitecaps in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. From these home matches, Vancouver have conceded only 5 goals.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
There's been little loot from Houston Dynamo's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Major League Soccer. Houston Dynamo only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Houston Dynamo won their last game, 2-1 versus Austin played at home. Those three points felt sweet as this side had gone four league games without winning. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Olsen when Franco scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute. Herrera got a match rating of 9.03 in that game, top player of the team. Herrera scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.
Before that one, the victory at home hosting Minnesota United in the US Open Cup (4-0). Looking at the earlier recent performances of Houston Dynamo when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 11 matches with the visitors losing 10 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.
Houston Dynamo have another game away from home in just three days, a Major League Soccer match versus Saint Louis City. A strenuous timetable for the guests!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Houston as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Houston Dynamo struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Vancouver Whitecaps four wins, three draws and Houston Dynamo three victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
