Sporting Kansas have beaten Houston in their last two encounters

Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo square off at Children's Mercy Park in the MLS on Saturday as both sides look to secure their first wins of the season.

The Wizards were beaten 3-1 by Atlanta United on the opening day, despite mustering more shots (14 to 12) and keeping more possession (57% to 43%).

It was a disappointing start for a side that finished third in the Western Conference last term and went into the playoffs.

Houston shared the spoils with Real Salt Lake on home soil as their encounter ended 0-0.

The home side, despite better stats, failed to break down a stoic Claret and Cobalt side but will hope for better results in their first away game of the new season.


Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo Head-To-Head

Houston Dynamo have won 19 of their last 49 clashes with Sporting Kansas, who have beaten Houston on 16 occasions.

Kansas have also won each of their last two encounters with Houston, albeit both at home, including a 4-2 win in October last year.

Tomorrow. Finally.
