Sporting Kansas City (4-2-1, 13 points) plays host to longtime rival Houston Dynamo FC (3-2-2, 11 points) Saturday evening. Players and coaches may change, but Sporting KC and the Dynamo playing each other never does. The two teams faced off on May 12th, will see each other again in October and a playoff match would not be unlikely.
Houston comes into the weekend in fourth place, having won 2 of their last three games, with a won 1-0 win over Kansas City in Houston, a 3-1 loss at the Colorado Rapids and a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps back at home.
