Houston Dynamo have won five straight; FC Cincinnati have won three of their last five. The momentum is with the hosts going into this MLS tie.
Guilherme has been Houston Dynamo's spearhead, with 12 goals and 5 assists in 21 appearances, averaging 1.24 shots on target per game. Evander has been FC Cincinnati's main threat, with 12 goals and 8 assists in 21 appearances, averaging 1.67 shots on target per game.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Houston Dynamo come in on a W-W-W-W-W run, FC Cincinnati have gone W-D-W-L-W, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Houston Dynamo's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Houston Dynamo create chances worth 1.4 a game (and give up chances worth 1.7), leaving them -0.3 a game on the balance. FC Cincinnati create 1.4 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.6. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
Houston Dynamo average 1.3 goals per game and FC Cincinnati manage 1.4. Combined that's just 2.7. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
