How does Houston Dynamo arrive?
Houston has won three and lost three of its last six games. They have scored four goals and conceded six, scoring first in three of the six games. They scored two goals in the first half, while their opponents only scored one before halftime.
Houston has been without Hector Herrera due to injury, although the former Atletico Madrid player could miss the Nations League games with the Mexican National Team.
How does Columbus Crew arrive?
Columbus Crew won their home league match against Chicago Fire 2 goals to 1 this Saturday, a match that either team could have won, Jacen Russell Rowe put the 1-0 at 22 minutes of the second half, after a great play. Chicago Fire's reaction came in the 28th minute of the same period after a play by Fabian Herbers. Columbus Crew SC was more effective and was able to balance the scales in their favor to leave the 2-1 through a play by Mohamed Farsi when 55' of the same half elapsed.
Last week, in the first leg vs. Houston Dynamo, Columbus still won by the minimum, and despite not playing in the Round of 16 in the CONCACAF Champions League, because they are the reigning MLS champions, last Wednesday showed that they are in their place to fight to win the zone's competition.
