Seattle Sounders 0-0 Houston Dynamo

Current streaks

Recent form

Seattle Sounders

Seattle Sounders are in fine form, currently sitting 4th in the league table and unbeaten in their last seven matches. Their recent run includes four wins and two draws, demonstrating impressive consistency. The Sounders have been particularly strong defensively, conceding only three goals in their last six games and keeping four clean sheets. Their 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps stands out as a high-scoring affair, while their attack has been consistently productive, netting 10 goals in six matches. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their recent 1-0 wins against Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids. With a positive goal difference of 7 in their last six games and a tendency for low-scoring matches (67% under 2.5 goals), Seattle Sounders have established themselves as a formidable defensive unit whilst maintaining a steady offensive output.

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, alternating between wins and losses in their last five games. Despite this volatility, they have managed to secure a respectable 5th position in the league table with 54 points from 34 games. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game over the last six matches, whilst conceding slightly more at 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals. The Dynamo have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six outings. Their most recent victory against LA Galaxy broke a pattern of alternating results, potentially signalling a positive turn in their form as they approach the end of the season.

Recent home/away form

Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have shown mixed form at home in their recent fixtures, with a noticeable struggle to find consistent success. Their last six home matches have resulted in two wins, two draws, and two losses, indicating a lack of dominance at their own ground. Whilst they've managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, their goal-scoring prowess has been somewhat lacking, averaging only one goal per game. Interestingly, the Sounders have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. The team's defence has been relatively solid, conceding just over one goal per game on average. However, their most recent home victory came against Houston Dynamo, breaking a two-match winless streak at home. The heaviest defeat in this period came in the Leagues Cup, where they suffered a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles FC, highlighting their occasional vulnerability in front of their home supporters.

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with a noticeable decline in their last two outings. The Dynamo have suffered back-to-back defeats in their most recent away matches, failing to score in both. However, prior to this, they enjoyed a three-game unbeaten run on the road, including two impressive victories against Austin FC and Los Angeles FC, where they kept clean sheets. Their away form has been characterised by high-scoring affairs, particularly the thrilling 4-3 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps. Despite conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, Houston have managed to match this with their own goal-scoring exploits, resulting in a balanced goal difference. The team's ability to keep clean sheets in two of their last six away games is noteworthy, although their recent goalless streak is a concern that Houston will be keen to address in their upcoming fixtures.
