St. Louis (3-10-6, 15 points) has endured a brutal stretch, dropping to 1-10-4 over its last 15 matches following a 4-2 defeat to Orlando City on Wednesday. Houston (5-9-5, 20 points) hasn’t fared much better, suffering its third straight 3-1 loss after falling to Minnesota United midweek.

“This wasn’t a step in the right direction… Players have to make decisions and feel free on the field to make decisions, as well, and that’s something I felt like we missed today.”
— David Critchley

St. Louis was overwhelmed early against Orlando, conceding three goals in the first 22 minutes due to defensive breakdowns and poor positioning. One positive came from forward Joao Klauss, who scored in first-half stoppage time to record his fourth goal in two matches and sixth of the season.

While St. Louis’ problems have stemmed from poor starts, Houston’s collapse came late. The Dynamo held Minnesota scoreless for nearly an hour before conceding three times in a disastrous 10-minute stretch. Despite controlling possession and the shot count, Houston couldn’t convert dominance into results.

“It is about putting this puzzle together, putting our best team out there and continuing to grow. We know who we are.”
— Ben Olsen

The Dynamo sit five points behind Colorado for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, currently in 11th place. They’ll be without forward Jack McGlynn, who remains away on international duty with the U.S. National Team for the Gold Cup.
