Aiming to pick up a third consecutive win for the first time since September 2020, Houston Dynamo will welcome Seattle Sounders to the PNC Stadium on Wednesday.
The Sounders head into the game winless in their last four games on the road and will look to end their dry spell.
Houston made it two wins from two last Sunday, comfortably seeing off Nashville SC 2-0 on home turf.
That followed a 1-0 victory over San Antonio FC on May 12, which saw them progress to the next round of the US Open Cup. With 15 points from 11 games, Houston are sixth in the Western Conference standings, level on points with seventh-placed Colorado Rapids.
Meanwhile, Seattle found their feet last time out, picking up a 3-1 victory over Minnesota United on home turf.
Before that, the Sounders were on a two-game losing streak, including a penalty-shootout defeat against San Jose Earthquakes in the last 32 of the US Open Cup. Seattle have endured a slow start to their MLS campaign, finding themselves 11th in the West after picking up ten points from their opening nine games.
