The Major League Soccer match between Houston Dynamo and New York Red Bulls will take place at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday at 7:00 am IST.
On Saturday, the Houston Dynamo will have their second home game in a row in the MLS season, playing against the New York Red Bulls at Shell Energy Stadium. In their first game, the Houston Dynamo managed to tie 1-1 with Sporting Kansas City, and the Red Bulls had a 0-0 draw against Nashville SC.
In his first year as Dynamo manager in 2023, Ben Olsen led the team to a fourth-place finish in the regular season and won the US Open Cup. He relied heavily on midfielders who were tough to tackle, which helped the team reach the Western Conference final. The Dynamo improved by 15 points compared to the previous year, raising expectations for 2024. In their first game of the season, they had a lot of possession but struggled to break through the defense. They’ve been strong at home, earning points in their last seven games. They’ve also won their last three home games against the Red Bulls, scoring four goals each time.
As usual, the Red Bulls played strong defense in their first game, allowing Nashville only five shots. They haven’t conceded a goal in their last three games. Sandro Schwarz had his first regular season game as their manager last Sunday, and his team hasn’t lost in their last five away games. In 2023, they didn’t win any games against Western Conference teams and haven’t beaten one since July 2022. Their last first-half goal conceded was against DC United in September 2023, and they haven’t trailed in their last four games. The last time they beat the Dynamo in Houston was in 2013, with a 3-0 win.
Houston Dynamo probable starting lineup: Clark, Sviatchenko, Micael, Schmitt, Dorsey, Carrasquilla, Artur, Gregus, Smith, Aliyu, Segal
New York Red Bulls probable starting lineup: Coronel, D. Nealis, S. Nealis, Eile, Duncan, Morgan, Amaya, Edelman, Forsberg, Manoel, Vanzeir
