The MLS returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Colorado Rapids lock horns with Houston Dynamo in an important clash at the DSG Park on Saturday.
Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo Preview
Houston Dynamo are currently in eighth place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Texas-based side suffered a damaging 3-0 defeat against Minnesota United last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Colorado Rapids, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have been in dismal form this season. The Rapids were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Portland Timbers in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
