Houston's playoff push has stalled at the worst time, winless in five with just one win in their last seven.
Houston sit 5th with 44 points from 27 matches, but the attack has gone stale and the form line shows cracks heading into the stretch run. A 2-2 draw with Cincinnati and a 2-0 home loss to Sporting KC (with a red card) highlight the slide. Guilherme remains the engine, but Houston need results fast to hold their playoff spot.
