Houston Dynamo<\/a> host FC Dallas<\/a> at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, October 17 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houston Dynamo go into this one with a clean bill from the available team sheet, leaning on Guilherme up top after a 14-goal season backed by 60 chances created, with Mateusz Bogusz offering a second scoring outlet alongside him. FC Dallas counter with Petar Musa<\/a>, who has turned 80 shots into 19 goals this season, and Logan Farrington in support after his own 10-goal return, while Santiago Moreno and Kaick da Silva Ferreira look to supply the final ball from midfield.<\/p>\n

This has the feel of a tight affair between two Western Conference<\/a> sides who rarely make it easy on themselves in front of goal. Houston’s +2 goal difference and Dallas’s +7 both point to teams built on fine margins rather than goal floods, and at Shell Energy Stadium the Signal model expects Houston Dynamo’s attack to find a single moment of quality to separate these playoff contenders.<\/p>\n
