Houston Dynamo and Sporting KC meet so often that they count as a pair who know each other well, especially in the most recent match in August when Houston went on the road and won at Sporting KC's home 2-0, and before that there were both matches that ended in draws and matches that Sporting KC got back. This time the difference is that the form of the two teams is clearly heading in opposite directions. Houston are 2nd in the league with 44 points from 26 matches. The defense is the point that lets them sustain it, especially at home where they have not conceded at all in the first half from 8 matches. Sporting KC have dropped to 15th with only 18 points from 25 matches, have already conceded 63 goals, and away from home in the first half they trail so often that it is almost the same picture every match. This game will likely see Houston mainly control the ball and attack, while Sporting KC sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts score before half-time, the game will open up even more, and the chance that the score will be wide also rises accordingly, because Sporting KC's second half usually concedes more goals than the first half anyway.
