St Louis won back-to-back home games in the span of eight days last weekend, capping off a mixed month for the team with goals from Eduard Lowen, Miguel Perez, and an own goal from Tristan Blackmon.
Bradley Carnell's men have already won five of their first seven MLS home matches, indicating that their Missouri home is an intimidating place to play for visitors.
St Louis has been one of the league's sharpest shooters this season, scoring 29 goals in just 13 games - only Atlanta United has scored more in the whole league.
Roman Burki is the team's most recognisable player, with the former Borussia Dortmund custodian keeping three clean sheets and surrendering only 14 goals so far.
Houston's inconsistency in the first several months reappeared on Wednesday night, when they were beaten 6-2 at BC Place by Vancouver, despite jumping ahead thanks to goals from Corey Baird and Amine Bassi.
It was the first time the Dynamo has conceded six goals in a game since a 6-0 loss to Philadelphia Union in July 2022, part of a four-game losing skid in the middle of the season.
As we head into this weekend's round of games, Ben Olsen's team is clinging to a playoff spot in the Western Conference, sitting in ninth place with a two-point lead over Portland Timbers.
So far this season, Dynamo have struggled greatly away from home, with Olsen's men failing to win any of their seven MLS games and collecting only two points.
