Houston Dynamo FC team news

Houston Dynamo saw their four-match unbeaten run snapped in a 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City last time out, leaving them just outside the playoff spots in the Western Conference.

Defensive frailties at home have been a concern, with 16 of their 25 goals conceded this season coming at Shell Energy Stadium. The Dynamo will be without several key players due to injury: Nelson Quinones, Andrew Tarbell, Daniel Steres, Erik Sviatchenko, and Lawrence Ennali are all sidelined. Despite these absences, the core of the squad remains intact, and Sebastian Kowalczyk, who scored his first goal of the season in the last match, will be a player to watch.

CF Montreal team news

Montreal’s struggles have deepened, with just two points from their last five matches and 16 goals conceded in that span. They are currently near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and have the second-worst defensive record in MLS this season.

The team will be missing several players: Giacomo Vrioni is suspended after a recent red card, while Nathan Saliba and Joel Waterman are also suspended due to card accumulation.

Injuries further deplete the squad, with Gennadiy Synchuk, Fabian Herbers, Bryce Duke, Dominik Yankov, and Owen Graham-Roache all unavailable. Dante Sealy is away on international duty with Trinidad and Tobago.
