Seattle Sounders are looking to leap back to the top of the Western Conference standings when they take on Houston Dynamo in their next MLS game. Going into the game, Sounders are second on 26 points while Dynamo have 15 points and are seventh. Sounders are still unbeaten in the MLS but dropped from top of the conference after a 1-1 draw with Colorado Rapids in their last game. That was their second straight draw and the fourth in six matches for Sounders. They’ve lost their cutting edge seen in the opening matches and squeezing wins has been a struggle. It hasn’t been comfortable for them in their last five matches; before the Rapids draw, they needed a 71st minute goal to draw 2-2 with Vancouver Whitecaps. Even in the two wins they have in the last six matches, they were not entirely easy – needing to come from behind to beat LA Galaxy 2-1 and requiring a very late goal to collect three points against Real Salt Lake.

Houston Dynamo have had an inconsistent season so far, and going to this game, they have no win in their last five matches. They’ve drawn in each of their last four after the 3-2 loss to Sporting Kansas City, and in their 12 matches this season, they’ve managed just one clean sheet. They have scored in each of their league games this season, which means both sides have scored in 11 of their opening 12 matches. Head to head, they have an inferior record to Seattle Sounders. They have lost each of their last two meetings, and without scoring a goal, while in their last eight meetings, Dynamo have one win and seven losses. Out of the total 27 matches in which they’ve faced off, Dynamo have managed just six wins and Sounders 13.
