When the Colorado Rapids welcome the Houston Dynamo to DSG Park on Sunday, they will be attempting to extend their winning streak to three games.

Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers completed a scoreless draw on Wednesday night at DSG Park after the second half of their match on July 4 was postponed due to weather.
With 18 points after 22 games, the outcome leaves Robin Fraser's team dead last in the Western Conference, but the Rapids have only suffered one loss in their past four games, suggesting they may have turned the corner.
Colorado is 11 points behind Dallas in seventh place, making a playoff spot unattainable, but a decent season's end might be just what the doctor ordered for the league's worst team.
Houston's goals for the current season are crystal clear: capture a top-seven place in the Western Conference and be involved at the end of the regular season. Houston has failed to make the playoffs in each of the previous five seasons.
Only one of the Dynamo's eight wins came away from home as they presently hold ninth place in the Western Conference with 28 points from 22 games.
