Houston Dynamo are second with 38 points from 21 games (12-2-7, 30 scored and 26 conceded): in their last five they won four times, their only loss coming at St. Louis City. At home their record is 7-1-2 with 13 goals scored and 7 conceded. San Jose Earthquakes are fourth with 33 points from 21 games (10-3-8, 39-33) but are going through a rough patch: four losses in their last five, with only a draw against LA Galaxy breaking the run. Away from home their record is 6-1-3 with 20 goals scored and 14 conceded. In head-to-head meetings Houston have won one of the last three, 2-1 at home in 2024, while the other two were an away loss and an away draw. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
