FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo return to action in MLS when they lock horns at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday. Eric Quill’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last six meetings since February 2023.
FC Dallas continue to struggle for results in the league as they were held to a 1-1 stalemate by 10-man Real Salt Lake last weekend. Quill’s side have failed to win five of their last six MLS games — losing twice and claiming three draws — with a narrow 4-3 win over Inter Miami on April 27 being the exception.
With 16 points from 12 league matches, Dallas are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with ninth-placed Colorado Rapids.
Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged Minnesota United 2-0 at the Shell Energy Stadium.
Before that, Ben Olsen’s men saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end on May 4 when they fell to a 2-0 loss against Los Angeles FC, one week before suffering a 3-1 home defeat against Seattle Sounders.
Houston Dynamo have picked up 13 points from their 13 MLS matches so far to sit 12th in the East, three points and two places behind this weekend’s hosts.
Dallas and Houston Dynamo find themselves separated by just three points in the bottom half of the table and will be looking to get one over the other this weekend.
Olsen’s men have struggled for consistency away from home and we are backing Dallas to come away with all three points at the Toyota Stadium.
