Comparative Team Statistics: San Diego vs Houston Dynamo

Recent meetings

These two have played three times recently, and it's been tight. Houston won 1-0 back in April, then San Diego hit back with a 4-2 away win the previous October. Go back further and San Diego actually led 3-1 at home before Houston turned it into a 4-3 win.

So Houston have the edge with two wins from three, but every one of these matches has produced goals at both ends.

Recent head-to-head form suggests goals are likely again, even if Houston hold a slight edge.

League placings

The table underlines the gap in current form. Houston sit second with 44 points from 26 games, while San Diego are down in 11th on 31 points from the same number of matches.

That's a 13-point difference over a full season's sample, not just a hot streak.

Houston's season-long record is clearly stronger than San Diego's.

Both squads carry a few knocks.
