Houston, New York aiming for consistency in mid-week clash

Soccer Betting Lines

06/01/2010 - Harrison, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo travel to take on Red Bull New York in a mid-week Major League Soccer fixture between two teams that have taken decidedly different paths to their current .500 records.

The Dynamo have been the picture of consistency - or inconsistency - alternating wins and losses since April 1 en route to their current 5-5-1 record.

"This year, being 5-5, a lot of teams would probably take that, but with the history we've had, we are all embarrassed here," Houston forward Brian Ching told mlssoccer.com. "I'm just frustrated. I shake my head at it. The energy level is not good enough."

Red Bull, on the other hand, started the 2010 season 5-1-0 before losing four straight en route to their current 5-5-0 record.

Both teams are reeling after losses this past Saturday and will be aiming to rebound on Wednesday at Red Bull Arena.

New York's loss came at Eastern rivals New England after being issued two red cards in the game. Defenders Carlos Mendes and Roy Miller will both be unavailable for Wednesday's fixture because of their ejections on Saturday.

"I think we played well but you know we came out empty handed," New York striker Juan Pablo Angel said after the game. "It's disappointing because I think we had some good chances to at least tie the game up.

"We conceded goals we shouldn't have conceded, but we still managed to score two. When you play away from home and you score two goals, you should get something out of the game. Having said that, playing with nine players, it's a hell of a job. Overall, I can say we played well. We dominated the game the majority of the game, but then when it was nine against 11, the whole game changed."

The Dynamo's loss was at home to the expansion Philadelphia Union, an embarrassing effort that saw them allow a 70th minute equalizer and a 93rd minute winner.

"It's disappointing. It's a terrible way to end the game," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said after the game. "To have a lead in the second half and play the way we did in the second half is a huge letdown for us. We scored two great goals. I'm not pleased about having to make two defensive substitutions when we have some great firepower on the bench that we could not go to. I give Philadelphia credit. They came in, worked hard, and gave us problems."

The Dynamo should have their full lineup available on Wednesday except for midfielder Geoff Cameron, while New York will be without midfielder Carl Robinson, defender Kevin Goldthwaite and forward Mac Kandji, all because of injury.
