San Diego FC - Houston Dynamo FC

Can San Diego FC find defensive stability as they host Houston Dynamo FC at Snapdragon Stadium on 15 October 2026? The hosts enter this matchday 29 clash following a difficult run, including a heavy defeat to Red Bull New York. The expected XI for San Diego features Marcus Ingvartsen and Anders Dreyer leading the line, supported by the midfield pairing of Elias Achouri and Gabriel Pirani. Defensively, the side will look to Jeppe Tverskov and Ian Murphy to tighten their structure after a challenging stretch of results.

Houston Dynamo FC arrive aiming to build on a hard-fought draw against Minnesota United. Their expected setup includes the attacking threat of Guilherme Augusto and Lyle Foster, with Hector Herrera anchoring the midfield alongside Diadie Samassekou. While Houston has struggled for consistency, their recent defensive resilience in draws against FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC provides a platform. Both sides look to improve their standing in this Major League Soccer encounter.
