Team News

Columbus
Houston
  • Josh Williams is a doubt for the game against the Houston Dynamo as he strives to overcome a groin strain.
  • Hector Jimenez is also expected to miss out for the Columbus Crew, with Bernardo Anor struggling with injury, too.
  • Dominic Kinnear's only injury concerns for the game against the Columbus Crew are Tony Cascio and Mark Sherrod, who will both miss out.

Prediction

  • The Columbus Crew's 4-1 win over the LA Galaxy provided something of a statement for Gregg Berhalter's team. It was a result that made the rest of MLS sit up and take notice. Can the Crew reach those kind of levels against Houston?
  • Having spent so much of the season slipping down the Eastern Conference standings the Houston Dynamo are finally showing some signs of recovery, having won two of their last three MLS games. Dominic Kinnear needs a win to keep his side's playoff push going.
  • This one is a tough one to call, with both sides coming into the game on the back of impressive results.
