New England Revolution
- New England Revolution are winless in two matches (L2) ahead of their home opener.
- Marko Mitrović took the reins of New England in November 2025 and quickly set about imposing his style on the squad, an attack-first, high-tempo approach emphasizing vertical play and energetic pressing.
- The early results haven’t been great, with a 2-2 home draw with Chicago Fire followed up with humiliating defeats away at Nashville SC and the New York Red Bulls, but there’s enough quality in the squad to suggest that things can turn around.
Houston Dynamo
- Houston Dynamo have 1 draw and 1 loss in two away MLS 2026 matches (D1, L1).
- Houston Dynamo have three points from their first two MLS 2026 matches and they’re currently 20th in the early-season standings.
- In Ben Olsen, who took over in 2022, they have a coach with a very different mindset to Mitrović.
- The Houston boss prefers to set up a structure before the game and his side play a more measured tempo, dominating possession and using the center of the field as their creative hub.
Head-to-Head
Their last two meetings have seen one win apiece.
