Houston Dynamo FC has been consistent but not spectacular this season, sitting with a balanced record. Ibrahim Aliyu leads the team with 4 goals, supported by midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla, who has 5 assists. Offensively, Houston has scored 20 goals and assisted on 17 of them, showcasing a cohesive attacking unit.

 However, defensively, the Dynamo have conceded 20 goals, highlighting an area needing improvement. Recent form has been mixed, with a notable 3-1 win over the Colorado Rapids but also draws against Portland Timbers and FC Dallas. Maintaining offensive pressure will be crucial, as the defense remains vulnerable.

The Seattle Sounders enter the match with a slightly worse record but come off a morale-boosting win. Forward Raúl Ruidíaz has been pivotal, scoring 7 goals, while midfielder Albert Rusnák leads in assists with 6. The Sounders have scored 22 goals and conceded 21, indicating a slight edge in offensive production compared to Houston. Despite the inconsistent form, Seattle has shown toughness, with recent wins against Minnesota United and St. Louis CITY SC. 

The defensive lapses, however, have been evident, particularly in the loss to Sporting Kansas City. For Seattle to succeed, they will need to tighten up defensively and capitalize on all offensive opportunities.
