Colorado has won four straight matches against Houston, the longest winning streak by either team in the MLS history of the series. The Dynamo have won only three of their last 24 matches against the Rapids (D8 L13) dating back to August 2009.
Houston ended a six-match winless run (D1 L5) with a 2-1 win over Vancouver on Saturday. Houston hasn’t won consecutive matches since August-September 2020, following its last eight wins with six losses and two draws.
The Rapids followed a loss in their season opener with back-to-back clean sheet victories over Atlanta and Kansas City. Colorado hasn’t kept three straight clean sheets since March 2015 and haven’t recorded three straight clean sheet wins since May-June 2010.
Darwin Quintero scored his second brace as a member of the Dynamo and his first since August 2020 in Houston’s win over Vancouver on Saturday. Dating back to the end of last season, Quintero has been involved in Houston’s last five goals (4 goals, 1 assist, excluding an own goal).
Diego Rubio has scored in Colorado’s last two games, including against former team Sporting Kansas City over the weekend, his first set of consecutive games with a goal since 2019. Rubio has scored six times in his career against Houston, twice as many as he has against any other MLS team.
