Prediction: 1-0
FC Dallas
Sparkles will be flying when Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas go head to head at Shell Energy Stadium in the Texas derby. Houston are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Inter Miami in the US Open Cup final and they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s clash as well. The good news for the hosts is that both Luis Caicedo and Griffin Dorsey are back from suspension.
The Toros, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league matches, but they face an uphill task against Houston Dynamo, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a 2-2 draw, but we are tempted to put our money on the Orange Crush this time out as they showcased their worth in the US Open Cup final. The likes of Sebastian Lletget, Geovane Jesus, Bernard Kamungo, and Tarik Scott should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
Highlighted Team (FC Dallas):
Despite making it to the 2010 MLS Cup final, Dallas eventually failed to win the domestic trophy. The Toros (Bulls) were beaten by Colorado in the final played at BMO Field in Toronto and you should bear in mind that the Rapids scored the winner in the extra time.
That was the first and only time Dallas participated in the MLS Cup final, but in 2016 the club won the Supporters’ Shield and the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The Toros play their home games at Toyota Stadium, the venue that was opened in August, 2005. The stadium’s original name was Pizza Hut Park, but in September 2013 it was renamed as Toyota Stadium after Pizza Hut Park left as a main sponsor.
FC Dallas wear red shits with white stripes when playing at home, while their secondary colors are white and blue. Former Ajax and River Plate ace Mauro Rosales, who joined the Toyota Stadium outfit in 2016, is regarded as one of the club most significant stars.
