Sporting Kansas City has won three straight MLS matches against Houston, including a 1-0 victory on March 5, the first three-match winning streak by either team against the other in the history of the series.
Houston’s 2-1 defeat at Seattle on Sunday was its 16th loss on the season, equaling the team’s total from last year. The Dynamo have lost more matches in a regular season only twice: 18 defeats on 2019 and 17 defeats in 2014.
Sporting Kansas City is unbeaten in three straight matches (W2 D1) for just the second time this season (D3 in April-May). Sporting has recorded at least one four-match unbeaten streak every season since 2000.
The Dynamo were held to to a season-low four shots in their defeat to Seattle on Sunday. It was only the second time in the last five MLS seasons that Houston failed to attempt at least five shots in a match (3 at LAFC in June 2011).
Sporting Kansas City scored twice in its draw with the Galaxy on Sunday, taking its total to 14 goals over the last five matches. That’s one more goal than Sporting managed in its previous 16 MLS matches combined dating back to April 23.
