Nashville collected four points from its two previous meetings with Houston, both in the 2020 season. Hany Mukhtar scored twice in the second of the two meetings, a 3-1 away win for Nashville in October 2020.
Houston has lost three straight games after losing only once in its first seven MLS contests this year (W3 D3). The Dynamo are no strangers to four-match losing streaks having recorded two of them since the beginning of August 2021.
Nashville ended a three-match winless run with a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Sunday. Nashville has recorded consecutive wins just once since the start of September, beating the Crew and Sporting Kansas City in early April.
The Dynamo managed just 10 touches in D.C. United’s penalty area in the 2-0 defeat on Saturday. Houston has averaged an MLS-low 16.0 touches in the opponent’s penalty area per match this season.
Dave Romney has scored two goals in a single MLS season for the second time in his career after finding the net against Real Salt Lake on Sunday. Romney scored two goals for the Galaxy in the 2017 season, netting against Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City, the same two teams he scored against this season.
