Houston Dynamo
Sunday’s MLS game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park pits together Colorado Rapids and Houston Dynamo, the two sides who are almost level on points in the Western Conference. The Rapids are undefeated in the previous three league games and they are surely capable of matching Houston Dynamo in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Houston.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the new MLS season, with the team sharing the spoils with Sporting Kansas City, losing to New York Red Bulls, while beating Portland Timbers. Houston Dynamo, though, are not regarded as good travellers and that is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Colorado. All Amine Bassi, Nelson Quinones, Hector Herrera, Sebastian Ferreira, and Erik Sviatchenko are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
Highlighted Team (Colorado Rapids):
Colorado Rapids is a Major League Soccer club and they compete in the USA professional soccer league as a member of the Western Conference. Colorado began their play in MLS back in 1996 and 14 years later they managed to win the MLS Cup trophy. The Rapids recorded a 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the final of the tournament, with George John scoring the winner for Gary Smith’s team in the extra time. Colorado made it to the MLS Cup final in 1997 as well, but D.C. United proved to be a big catch for the club in the title game.
The Rapids play their home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and the venue has been Colorado’s home ground since 2007. It has to be noted that the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Valderama, Claudio Lopez and Jermaine Jones were all part of the club in the past. Colorado’s colors are red, sky blue and white, but they were yellow shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
