The Houston Dynamo did a great job against Colorado in their last match and extended their undefeated start in the season. They will now return home for their next match, where they will play host to a really weak San Jose side on Saturday. San Jose finally recorded their first win of the season in a solid match against Portland.

Houston (3-0-1) should be feeling blessed about the outcome of their last match. They did take an early lead against Colorado on the road but their opponents scored two own goals after that. It was a really easy win for Houston who were coming off another win, a 2-3 at home against Vancouver. The Dynamo are now sitting at the 4th spot of the Western Conference with 10 points, two behind the LA Galaxy. San Jose (1-4-0) finally found a win, at home against the struggling Portland Timbers by 0-3. The Quakes looked poised to not let this one slip, as they played really good on the offense and scored all three goals by the 34th minute. But that was a bright spot in an otherwise dark campaign so far, as this win came after four consecutive losses. The Quakes are now sitting at the 9th spot of the Western Conference with 3 points, having scored just five goals and having conceded 14 so far.

Houston beat San Jose by 2-3 in this venue last season after a 2-2 draw in San Jose. Houston have been great in this match-up lately (4-1-2) and have also been really strong as hosts over the years (8-2-1). I expect the home team to extend their dominance as hosts in this match.
