Player to watch: Sebastian Driussi
We mentioned Driussi’s name earlier in our Austin vs Houston Dynamo prediction. That’s because, despite underperforming in 2024, he is still coach Wolff’s main weapon in the attack. The 2022 Major League Top Goalscorer Award Winner currently has five goals to his name and is the top Austin finisher.
Second player to watch: Hector Herrera
Herrera is the heart and soul of Houston Dynamo’s midfield. With three assists since the start of the 2024 MLS campaign, he is proving to be one of the key creators on the team as well.
