Philadelphia has won four of its last five matches against the Dynamo (L1), including the last three in a row. Prior to the last five meetings, the Union managed just three wins in 14 matches against Houston (D4 L7, incl. playoffs).
The Union have won four straight matches following a 1-0 victory at Orlando on Saturday. Philadelphia already has one five-match winning streak this season (March 5 – April 9). Prior to this season, the Union had recorded only two four-game winning streaks in MLS play, doing so in 2017 and 2018.
The Dynamo won their last away match, 2-1, at San Jose on July 17, just their third win in their last 35 on the road (D9 L23). Houston hasn’t recorded consecutive road wins within a single season since beating the D.C. United and the Red Bulls in October-November 2013 (incl. playoffs).
The Union have allowed just 15 goals this season, tied with the Dynamo in 2007 for the fewest after 22 matches of a season in MLS history. Philadelphia hasn’t allowed more than one goal in any of its last 26 home regular season matches, an MLS record.
Darwin Quintero set up six chances for teammates in Houston’s loss to Minnesota on Saturday, the fourth time in his Dynamo career he’s recorded at least six chances created in a match. Quintero is the only Dynamo player to do so even once since the start of the 2019 season.
