Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas will face each other this Saturday, July 9 for the Matchday 19 of the MLS in the Texan Derby and a key duel in the Western Conference to enter the playoffs at the BBVA Compass Stadium.
The local team does not come well. They lost 5 of their last 6 games and only won 1, one against the Chicago Fire who are last in the Eastern Conference. Last weekend they fell at home against Charlotte FC (1-2) and are 3 points from last place to qualify for the finals.
But on the visiting side, the situation doesn’t improve either, as they have only managed 5 points out of a possible 21 in these last few games and their place among the qualifiers is beginning to be in danger with several teams breathing down their necks.
This year they already faced each other, but at the Toyota Stadium and it was an agonizing victory for Dallas over the hour by 2-1 with goals from Tsiki Ntsabelang at 87′ and Facundo Quignon at 90+3′. Sebastián Ferreira scored for the visit at 33′.
