Houston Dynamo will host Seattle Sounders at the Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The hosts will be desperate to get a win in hopes of kick-starting what has been a largely underwhelming season so far.
Houston went a man down late in their 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC last time out, marking their fifth loss of the league campaign. The hosts, who have only won two games all season, are only four places from the bottom of the combined league table and will need to pick up points in the coming weeks if they are to finish the regular season as high as they did last season.

Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, have been in fine form in recent games after a slow start to the season and will be looking to make it five games unbeaten this weekend. The visitors' comfortable 4-1 comeback win over St. Louis City on Sunday marked their third win in four games and now puts them in seventh place in the Western Conference with 16 points from 11 games.
