Minnesota United FC will try to extend an Allianz Field unbeaten streak to six games when they host the Houston Dynamo in a Western Conference showdown Saturday night.


The Loons (5-4-3) are coming off a 1-0 home win over Columbus Crew SC and have conceded just once at Allianz Field since a wild 3-3 draw to open the soccer cathedral. Against his former club, Ethan Finlay scored the lone goal in the 70th minute as the Loons secured a point for the fourth time in their last five matches. 


The Dynamo (7-2-2) are also unbeaten at home, making it eight games at BBVA Compass Stadium without a defeat following a 2-1 victory over D.C. United Saturday. Memo Rodriguez canceled out Wayne Rooney's first half goal and a minute later Tommy McNamara scored what proved to be the winner, his first for Houston, which secured a third win in its last five matches.
