The Dynamo have won their last five home matches against San Jose. Houston has just two longer regular season home winning streaks against a single opponent, winning seven straight at home against D.C. United from 2009 to 2014 and six straight over Montreal from 2013 to 2019.
After losing 12 of their final 18 games in 2021, the Dynamo have just one defeat in five games to start the 2022 season (W2 D2). Houston is looking for its first set of consecutive wins since a three-match streak in August-September 2020.
The Earthquakes came from two goals down to earn a draw for the second time this season, with a Jeremy Ebobisse penalty followed by a Cade Cowell goal off a corner. All six Earthquakes goals in 2022 have come on set plays as they’re the only team without an open play goal this season.
Fafà Picault scored twice in Houston’s win over Inter Miami on Saturday after Darwin Quintero opened the scoring. Picault (11) and Quintero (6) have combined to score 17 of Houston’s 25 goals since the beginning of August 2021.
Cade Cowell scored the equalizer for the Earthquakes in their draw with Austin on Saturday, the 7th goal of the 18-year-old’s MLS career. Prior to Cowell, there were only two goals scored by players under 19 in the Earthquakes’ MLS history, both by Arturo Álvarez in 2003 and 2004.
