In their twentieth year within Major League Soccer, Houston Dynamo FC largely finds itself in the business of redeeming pride rather than securing points. Currently positioned 14th in the Western Conference with but one victory in nine matches, such has been the frustrating initiation for the orange-hued faithfuls. But do not let the table deceive you—indeed, Houston is quietly gathering steam on the back of unsung performances.
Dynamo are now unbeaten in three matches, with the highlight their 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids. Here, they began glimpsing an obviously more coherent side, enjoying 63% possession, with 7 shots on target, and a late equalizer by new signing Ondřej Lingr. The Czech could well prove to be that highly influential playmaker the team so desperately needs after often displaying struggles in the creative department.
Houston's home form has been erratic—2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw. But new blood like Toyosi Olusanya, signed from St. Mirren in Scotland, may inject that much-needed energy and urgency. With his pace and scoring instincts, the 27-year-old forward is an exciting prospect.
The club is also reminding its fans of its glorious past, with a "Forever Orange, Forever Houston" initiative reconnecting with its history while looking ahead; however, it is still mired in unresolved issues such as the €3.5 million owed by Boavista for Alberth Elis.
There is a chance at redemption here being offered by the Texas Derby. A noteworthy performance against high-flying Austin could be just what the Dynamo fans are wishing for in `turning-point` reality.

✈️ Austin FC: form and statistics
Houston might still be trying to find their rhythm, but Austin FC is making all the right notes. Austin currently sits second in the Western Conference with five wins out of nine games and with that they're showing that all the hype surrounding them isn't misplaced. They're serious contenders for the playoffs.
Their latest outing saw a 1-0 win over LA Galaxy; gritty rather than glamorous: 50% possession, 8 corners, and only one goal from Brandon Vázquez. But it was a match that had character. Vázquez redeemed himself with an 80th-minute winner after earlier missing a penalty, proving the resilience of the team. It's more astonishing that they would win low-scoring games like that in which seven of their last nine matches went under 2.5 goals.
Austin still has a mixed bag of away form: two wins, two losses. But adding Finnish winger Robert Taylor from Inter Miami has added spice and versatility. Taylor's ability to stretch defenses could be very handy in games like these.
The fact that Austin will tomorrow be hosting the 2025 MLS All-Star Game at Q2 Stadium speaks volumes about the rising profile of the city. This is a club on the rise---ambitious, aggressive, and just enough swagger to leave opponents uneasy.
Expect them to give each other a run for their money as they head off to Houston with a confidence streak in their recent meetings of scoring first.
📋 Austin FC Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup (4-3-3): B. Stuver; G. Biro, J. Cascante, O. Svatok, J. Gallagher; Owen Wolff, B. Sabovic, D. Pereira; Myrto Uzuni, B. Vázquez, J. Obrian
⛔️ Out: Mikkel Desler, B. Hines-Ike
👤Head coach: Nico Estévez

📉 Houston Dynamo vs Austin FC Betting Trend
- With seven of Austin's last nine matches going under 2.5 goals and Houston struggling to find consistent firepower, expect a low-scoring affair.
- Despite under 2.5 trends, both sides have seen both teams score in five of their last seven matches. Houston’s new-look attack with Lingr and Olusanya adds value here
- Austin have scored the opening goal in four of the last five meetings against Houston, showing a clear pattern of fast starts.
- Five of Austin’s last six matches have seen over 4.5 cards, and a derby atmosphere increases the likelihood of a feisty, stop-start game.
- Both sides are cautious starters—four of Houston's last five games have been level at the break.
⚽ Houston Dynamo vs Austin FC Match Prediction
The Texas Derby between Houston Dynamo and Austin FC seems poised to be a close encounter in spite of their standings.
