Houston Dynamo (4-2-1, second in the Western Conference) will look to make it three straight home MLS wins when they lock horns against Austin FC (2-3-3, 10th in the Western Conference) on Saturday.
The Orange got back to winning ways over the weekend, as they edged out Minnesota United 2-1 at Allianz Field.
The Verde and Black, meanwhile, were handed a reality check last weekend when they fell to a narrow 1-0 loss to St. Louis City at CityPark.
