This is a huge game for both teams who have improved significantly compared to the recent past. The Houston Dynamo finished last the Western Conference and were not expected to do much better. Instead, this Houston team is exciting to watch and has a strong identity behind them and currently sits on top of the Western Conference.
The Philadelphia Union looked terrible since March. Not having won a game all year, the team hit a switch and suddenly Union fans have something to cheer about as their side have won the past two consecutive games and going undefeated in four.
