Match Preview: Houston Dynamo v Aston Villa

Dynamo

Houston Dynamo
Saturday July 26th - 8.00pm CDT (Sunday 27th July 2.00am BST)

Where are we playing?
BBVA Compass Stadium
2200 Texas Ave,
Houston,
TX 77003,
United States

Can I go?
Seems to be a few tickets left...

Can I watch it on telly?
Good question. This one isn't live on AVTV but Houston Dynamo ARE screening the game via You Tube at http://www.houstondynamo.com/live


Big game?
Still a case of Paul Lambert trying a few things out and I doubt we'll get any real clues as to how we'll line up in the Premier League until the Parma game.

So this is very important from the players' point of view as they strive to get themselves into Lambo's thinking. Doubt it will be much of a spectacle from a fans point of view but Dallas certainly gave us a game.

Joe Cole

Who's playing for us?
Again, almost everyone will probably get a decent amount of minutes. Joe Cole is hugely unlikely to feature, nursing a thigh injury picked up at Mansfield.

Squad: Brad Guzan, Jed Steer, Shay Given, Matt Lowton, Alan Hutton, Jores Okore, Ciaran Clark, Philippe Senderos, Nathan Baker, Chris Herd, Joe Bennett, Kieran Richardson, Enda Stevens, Fabian Delph, Ashley Westwood, Karim El Ahmadi, Leandro Bacuna, Gary Gardner, Charles N’Zogbia, Jack Grealish, Andi Weimann, Gabby Agbonlahor, Darren Bent

Who's playing for them?
Well they just signed DaMarcus Beasley who has been to an impressive four World Cups with the US of A. Can't see any other big names leaping at us from their roster...

Any useless stats?
We have no history against Houston Dynamo so no interesting snippets or stats for this section.

Sorry.

Prediction
Cheeky 2-1 win to the Villa
