Houston Dynamo

The team have not won in their last 6 matches, with their most recent victory coming more than a month ago. Defensively, the Dynamo have struggled, conceding 11 goals in their last 6 games, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat against Inter Miami standing out.

The Dynamo's attacking output has been lacklustre, scoring only 4 goals in 6 games, averaging less than a goal per match.

Recent home/away form

Portland Timbers

The Portland Timbers have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding three wins, two draws, and one loss. Whilst they have managed to keep three clean sheets during this period, their defensive record was marred by a particularly high-scoring defeat against Vancouver Whitecaps, where they conceded four goals. The Timbers have been relatively consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of their six recent home games, but their goal-scoring average of 1.33 per match suggests room for improvement in attack.
