Recent form
Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo's recent form has been mixed, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team have shown defensive improvement, keeping two clean sheets in their last five games, including a notable 1-0 victory over Los Angeles FC. However, their goal-scoring has been somewhat lacklustre, averaging just 1.17 goals per game over this period. The Dynamo have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their current 14th position in the league table, with 10 points from 11 games, suggests they are struggling for consistency. Interestingly, both teams have scored in half of Houston's recent matches, indicating that while they are finding the net, they are also vulnerable defensively, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game.
Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, with a notable unbeaten run of four matches, including three victories. Their most recent outing was particularly eye-catching, as they thrashed St. Louis CITY 4-1, highlighting their attacking prowess. The Sounders have demonstrated resilience in defence, conceding only six goals in their last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal difference of +4 over this period is commendable, with the team averaging 1.67 goals scored per game. Interestingly, the Sounders' matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite sitting in 7th position, their recent form suggests they are a team on the rise, with only one defeat in their last six outings.

Recent home/away form
Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with a notable improvement in their last three matches. After suffering a concerning run of three consecutive home defeats, the Dynamo have shown resilience by going unbeaten in their subsequent three games, winning two and drawing one. Their defensive performance has significantly improved, keeping clean sheets in their last two victories against Austin FC and Los Angeles FC. However, their 4-1 loss to Inter Miami stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and their heaviest defeat in this period. Despite their recent upturn in form, the Dynamo's overall league position (14th) and goal difference (-2) suggest they still have room for improvement. Interestingly, 67% of their home matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, indicating that their games tend to be entertaining for neutral spectators.
Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders have been struggling away from home recently, with only one win in their last six away matches. Their away form has been particularly poor, with three losses in a row before a draw and a win in their most recent two away fixtures. The Sounders have been struggling to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in these six matches, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding 10 goals, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat against Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions League standing out as their most significant loss. Despite these challenges, the Sounders have managed to keep one clean sheet and have seen two-thirds of their away matches end with under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring games on the road.
