New York City will host Houston Dynamo at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side are enjoying a solid run of results in the league after a slow start to their season and now sit sixth in the Eastern Conference with 24 points from 15 matches.
They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over nine-man Chicago Fire during the weekend, finding themselves a goal down and a man up at the break before efforts from Monsef Bakrar, Hannes Wolf and Alonso Martinez in the second half helped secure maximum points for the Pigeons.
Houston Dynamo, meanwhile, have had mixed results in Major League Soccer this term. They played out a 3-3 draw away at San Jose Earthquakes last time out, squandering a two-goal lead to go 3-2 down in the second half before Jack Dorsey drilled home a low strike to rescue a point for La Naranja in additional time.
The visitors sit 10th in the West with 17 points and will be keen to return to winning ways later this week.
