The Houston Dynamo are coming off a much-needed win over St. Louis CITY, finally putting an end to their losing streak. While it wasn’t their sharpest performance, the result gives Ben Olsen’s team a boost as they prepare for their first-ever trip to face San Diego FC.
San Diego has been one of the top teams in MLS this season, showing strong form and consistency throughout the year. Their attack has been especially dangerous, led by standout forwards Anders Dreyer, Hirving Lozano, and Milan Iloski. Dreyer has been a key playmaker, Lozano brings international experience and clutch scoring, and Iloski adds pace and creativity on top with a knack for goals.
Houston will need a solid defensive showing and improved execution if they hope to carry their momentum into one of the toughest road tests of the season.
