The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as FC Dallas play host to Houston Dynamo at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday.
Both teams head into the game on six-game unbeaten streaks across competitions and will look to keep this fine run going.
Dallas progressed to the next round of the US Open Cup, beating FC Tulsa 2-1 on Wednesday. They'll now turn their attention to the MLS, where they are on a five-game unbeaten run, claiming three wins and two draws. With 12 points from seven games, Dallas are fourth in the Western Conference standings, level on points with Saturday’s visitors.
Meanwhile, like Dallas, Houston cruised through round three of the US Open Cup, seeing off Rio Grande Valley FC 2-1 on Wednesday. Before that, Paulo Nagamura’s side made it five games without defeat in the MLS, thanks to a goalless draw with Portland Timbers on Saturday.
While Houston will look to keep their fine run going, they face the stern test of taking on Dallas at the Toyota Stadium. There, they have failed to taste victory since 2011, losing nine and picking up four draws in their last 13 visits.
