Houston Dynamo and Minnesota United meet in MLS with clearly different situations in the table. The hosts sit 5th with 47 points, while the visitors are 13th with 34 points, but their most recent results went in opposite directions. Houston have just drawn 2-2, while Minnesota have just won 3-2. Houston are in a spell where they struggle to win, but they don't lose often either. They have not won any of their last five and have drawn as many as four. The attack still produces goals, but the defense lets opponents equalize frequently. Minnesota, meanwhile, arrive with a more lively attack, scoring in each of their last five, but their defense leaks just as much, conceding two or more in several of those games. This game should be open from the start, because neither team has a defense solid enough to shut the door comfortably. Houston are likely to have more possession and push forward more, but Minnesota carry a dangerous counterattacking threat with pace in their forward line. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how quickly Houston can establish their attacking game. If they press early and take the lead, the game should flow in the hosts' direction.
