Houston Dynamo host CF Montreal in a crucial MLS match. Houston aims to bounce back from recent defeats while Montreal struggles with poor form and an important suspension. Dynamo have been inconsistent at home this season, while Montreal have one of the weakest records in the league and have struggled away. Despite this, Montreal won their last visit to Houston in 2022.
Key Factors to Consider
Houston Dynamo have lost five out of nine home matches this season, a downturn from previous years, standing 10th in the Western Conference. They have shown some recent promise with a 3-1-1 run in their last five games, scoring 11 goals. CF Montreal are struggling immensely with only eight points through 17 matches, third fewest in MLS history at this stage. Montrealβs away form is particularly poor at 1-7-2, and they are currently on a 0-3-2 streak in their last five MLS games, conceding 16 goals.
Montreal last defeated Houston 3-2 in August 2022, their first ever away win over the Dynamo after eight losses and one draw in prior visits. The teams met in October 2023, ending in a 1-1 draw. Historical dominance favors Houston at home, but Montreal poses a threat given past results.
CF Montrealβs joint-top scorer Vrioni is suspended following a red card, shifting scoring responsibility to Prince Owusu who has 4 goals and 2 assists this season. Houstonβs squad details on current injuries are not explicitly reported but the Dynamo coach Olsen has noted the team is fatigued due to a hectic schedule.
Houston faces physical fatigue issues after a demanding schedule leading up to the match. Weather in Houston is warm, around 81Β°F, which may favor the home team used to such conditions. The match takes place at Houstonβs home stadium, Shell Energy Stadium, providing home-field advantage.
Houston Dynamo are motivated to recover from their recent poor home record and push for better standing in the Western Conference. Montreal, with one of the worst records historically, has little momentum and struggles to find form, making motivation comparatively lower but still present as they seek to avoid further decline.

Houston Dynamo (0-2-4, 2 PTS in their last 6) are struggling this season and face Sporting Kansas City, with both teams seeking a turnaround.
