Sounders Hold Edge Over Winless Dynamo
Seattle enter this home game after collecting two wins and two draws in their last five outings. Houston have failed to win any of their past five matches and sit four points ahead in the standings despite that run. The visitors have also shipped 1.7 goals a game on the road this season. In the last nine meetings Seattle have taken five victories while Houston have none. Houston will be without Felipe Andrade and J. Maurer, both of whom have featured regularly in their back line. Seattle average 1.6 goals scored per home game and have kept eight clean sheets in 31 league matches. The main test will come if Houston park men behind the ball and force Seattle to break them down.
