The Houston Dynamo have a winning streak going with back-to-back wins for the first time since the end of last season. That will be tested when they play New York City FC at BBVA Compass Stadium. For the Dynamo, they’re coming off one of their most complete performances of the season with Mauro Manotas leading the way with 3 goals in the Dynamo 3-1 win over the Portland Timbers. The Dynamo haven’t played NYCFC this season, but drew them 1-1 last year at Yankee Stadium with Will Bruin and David Villa trading goals.
Interim Manager Wade Barrett has made predicting lineups both easy and difficult as he typically uses the same personnel, but feels free to shift them around the field as he sees necessary.
