Prediction: 1-2
Houston Dynamo
Q2 Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Austin FC and Houston Dynamo. Los Verdes aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Orange Crush. Experienced attacker Gyasi Zardes is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Mikkel Desler and Matt Hedges are out of contention with injuries.
Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Los Angeles FC and Real Salt Lake and given Austin’s recent struggles, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the Q2 Stadium clash. All Hector Herrera, Gabriel Segal, Lawrence Ennali, and Nelson Quinones are out of contention with injuries for the away team. In their last meeting in MLS Austin FC defeated Houston Dynamo 1-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
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 (Houston Dynamo):
Houston Dynamo is an American professional soccer club owned by Jake Silverstein, Gabriel Brener, Ben Guull and Oscar De La Hoya, who is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time.
BBVA Compass Stadium is Dynamo’s home ground and the capacity of the venue is 22.039. Houston Dynamo won back-to-back MLS Cup trophies (2006, 2007), with the team beating New England Revolution in each of the two title games. It has to be noted that Houston finished the 2011 and the 2012 seasons as runners-up.
In 2008 the Dynamo made it to the North American SuperLiga final, but this time out their old rivals New England Revolution proved to be a big catch for the BBVA Compass Stadium outfit. FC Dallas are regarded as the club’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Texas derby. Houston have developed a rivalry with Sporting Kansas City as well. The colors of the club are orange, black and white.
