Houston Dynamo host Minnesota United at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, October 24 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh absences are flagged for either side heading into this one, so both managers should have close to full books to choose from. Houston Dynamo will lean on attacking midfielder Guilherme Augusto Vieira dos Santos, who leads the team with 16 goals and 65 chances created, alongside fellow attacking midfielder Mateusz Bogusz, who has fired 91 shots and landed 34 on target this season. Minnesota United’s threat starts with striker Kelvin Yeboah, who has scored 17 goals from 75 shots, supported by midfielder Anthony Markanich, who has added 8 goals and a team-high 36 chances created.<\/p>\n

Houston sit fifth in the Western Conference<\/a> with 47 points from 30 games and a plus-2 goal difference, a position that keeps them inside the playoff picture as the regular season winds down. Minnesota United are 13th in the same conference on 34 points and a minus-8 goal difference, well off the pace but capable of frustrating a better side, as shown by their 2-2 draw at Houston on October 11 and their 3-2 win over St. Louis City SC last time out. Shell Energy Stadium has rarely produced a clean sheet for either side this season, and with Yeboah and Guilherme both finding the net regularly, that pattern of shared goals should hold up.<\/p>\n\n\n
