Player to watch: Amine Bassi
Attacking midfielder Bassi scored one of Houston’s two goals this season. We are confident he will try to deliver a sturdy performance at Lower.com Field, but we aren’t convinced he has the right stuff to disprove Columbus Crew vs Houston Dynamo predictions wrong.
Second player to watch: Ezequiel Ponce
Ezequiel Ponce began the 2025 Major League Soccer race with an assist. He will surely do his best to impress coach Olsen this week.
