San Diego and Houston Dynamo meet in MLS, with the hosts sitting 12th on 32 points, while the visitors are 5th with 45 points from the same 28 matches. That gap gives the game a different meaning for each side. The hosts still need points to climb out of the lower zone, while the visitors are propping up their place near the top of the table. San Diego just lost 1-4 in their latest match and have not won any of their last five, drawing two and losing three. The defence is a clear problem when you look at the number of goals conceded throughout the season. Houston Dynamo, though unbeaten in four, have lost only two of their last five and have been beaten by a margin of one goal or more only twice. Overall they are the steadier team and rarely fall apart. This game is likely to see the hosts forced to open up and attack, because they need three points at home, while the visitors will probably sit in a block and wait to counter, with the advantage of their league position and composure. If San Diego keep conceding easily as before, the game is even more likely to drift toward the visitors, who are already waiting for their moment.
