After starting the season with four wins from their first five games, Sporting Kansas City comes into BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday (7:15 p.m.; TICKETS) winless in their five games since.
Kansas City lost three in a row in the middle of April to Colorado, FC Dallas, and San Jose, and rebounded slightly in the past two weeks with draws against Vancouver and the LA Galaxy.
Sporting is led by the cast of familiar faces to Dynamo fans, starting with Dom Dwyer (4 goals, 2 assists), Graham Zusi (3 assists), and Benny Feilhaber (2 goals, 1 assist) leading the attack. Captain Matt Besler and hard-nosed Honduran Roger Espinoza have led a defense that has only allowed 10 goals in 10 games.
Of course, the name most familiar to the Houston crowd is former Dynamo captain Brad Davis, who was traded to SKC this past offseason to be closer to home. Davis has appeared in eight of SKC's 10 games so far, starting four. He's proven to be an impact, already scoring two goals including a curling effort in last Sunday's draw against LA.
