Team News

Houston
New York
  • Hector Herrera has suffered a knee injury and is out indefinitely.
  • Nelson Quinones is out for the season with a knee injury.
  • Sebas Ferreira is "out for a while" with a hamstring injury.
  • Luis Caicedo is not with the team.
  • Griffin Dorsey limped off the field with the help of trainers last match.
  • John Tolkin is a game-time decision as he's dealing with a groin issue and fitness due to missing the preseason.
  • Cory Burke is questionable with a groin issue.
  • Serge Ngoma (hamstring) and Curtis Ofori (ankle) are ruled out.
  • Kyle Duncan is questionable as he took a knock in training.

Prediction

  • Houston just can't catch a break with injuries so far this season. We can add Griffin Dorsey to the list, although it's looking like it isn't a long-term ailment. Houston was able to advance to the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup after advancing on away goals against St. Louis City. Houston did rotate in the mid-week match, so we should see a close-to-preferred squad this weekend.
  • RBNY had their chances, but just like last season struggled to score in the 0-0 draw against Nashville. RBNY dominated the expected goals for the match leading 1.48-0.12, but strikers Dante Vanzeir and Elias Manoel couldn't convert any chances. The team travels to Houston in search of a positive result against a Houston team that has had a really congested schedule to start the season.
