The Houston Dynamo and Minnesota United FC are set to clash on Wednesday night as Major League Soccer resumes action. Both teams hope to secure a victory coming out of the league hiatus.
Minnesota United has had a mixed season. While they may not be the most visually appealing team, they have proven to be a competitive force in the Western Conference. However, their momentum was halted before the break with a disappointing 4-2 loss to San Diego FC, breaking their four-match unbeaten streak. In their last four league games, they have only managed one win—a 3-2 triumph over the Seattle Sounders on June 1.
In a similar vein, the Dynamo have faced challenges recently, entering the break on a low note after losses to Sporting Kansas City and CF Montreal. Like their opponents, Houston has recorded just one win across their last four MLS outings.
Currently, Minnesota occupies third place in the Western Conference, trailing the Vancouver Whitecaps by five points, while Houston is positioned at 11th, just two points behind the Colorado Rapids for the ninth spot.
This matchup marks the second encounter between the two teams this year; the Dynamo previously defeated Minnesota 2-0 at home on May 14.
The upcoming match details are as follows:
– Teams: Minnesota United FC (8-4-6) vs. Houston Dynamo (5-8-5)
– Date: Wednesday, June 25
– Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
– Venue: Allianz Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
– Broadcast: Apple TV+
Both teams have the opportunity to turn their fortunes around in this match, making it a pivotal point in the season. The remaining games could prove vital not only for standings but for each club’s confidence moving forward.
