Houston Dynamo FC team news

Houston Dynamo enter this fixture with little to play for except pride, having suffered back-to-back group-stage defeats - 4-1 to Tigres and 2-0 to Mazatlán, which confirmed their elimination from the tournament. The team is winless in its last five matches in all competitions and has only managed one win in their last seven home games, pointing to both attacking and defensive struggles.

Houston will be without Andrew Tarbell, Erik Sviatchenko, and Nelson Quinones, all sidelined through injury, further thinning out their squad options. Despite the return of experienced midfielders like Nico Lodeiro and the presence of Ondřej Lingr, who is being relied on to dictate play, Dynamo’s confidence and cohesion remain low.

Pachuca team news

Pachuca’s Leagues Cup journey is still alive after a hard-fought 3-2 win over San Diego in their opening match and a close 1-1 draw against LAFC in their second, followed by a narrow defeat on penalties. The Tuzos are sixth in Liga MX and have generally shown strong form, with Alexei Dominguez emerging as the team’s top scorer in the competition.

On the injury front, Pachuca will travel without defender Andres Micolta due to injury, and Oussama Idrissi is a doubt with ongoing fitness issues. Forward Jhonder Cádiz is suspended and unavailable for selection.
