Houston Dynamo host St. Louis City SC at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (7:00 PM ET \/ 6:00 PM CT \/ 4:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houston Dynamo have no fresh fitness concerns to report, with Guilherme Augusto Vieira dos Santos pulling the strings as an attacking midfielder after a season that has brought him 16 goals and 68 chances created. Mateusz Bogusz offers another outlet from the same position, leading the Dynamo squad with 92 shots in total. St. Louis City SC will again turn to Simon Becher and Rafael Navarro, strikers who have combined for 18 goals this season without ever forming a settled strike partnership.<\/p>\n

Houston arrive unbeaten in five, though four of those five matches have been draws, a pattern that points to a defence capable of holding firm but an attack short of a cutting edge in behind Guilherme. St. Louis, by contrast, have lost four matches in a row and head into Shell Energy Stadium having failed to score in two of their last three outings. With both sides fifth and fourth in the Western Conference<\/a> and level on points, neither can afford to keep leaking chances, and that tension should produce a tight, low-scoring contest decided by a single moment of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n
