A pair of clubs looking to begin their moves up their respective conference tables meet on Viernes de Fútbol when the Houston Dynamo play host to the Chicago Fire on Friday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo have lost back-to-back league games, sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference, following their 2-0 loss at FC Dallas last week, while the Fire are in last place in the East following a fourth consecutive defeat last time out in a 1-0 home loss to D.C. United. But both teams did advance to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals with victories at midweek.
