Houston puts unbeaten streak on line vs. Chivas

The Houston Dynamo are undefeated in eight in a row, including six wins, and will continue to try and chase down Chivas USA on Wednesday night when the Western Conference rivals clash at Robertson Stadium.
The Dynamo have closed to within six points of the MLS-leading Goats and with a pair of games in hand, can take control of the Western Conference with a win.
Houston (6-2-3) once again features one of the MLS's top defenses, with veteran goalie Pat Onstad leading the league with a 0.64 goals against average. He also has six shutouts, second in MLS to Chivas goalie Zach Thornton.
The Dynamo haven't allowed more than one goal in any of their last nine matches and have allowed a total of just seven goals the entire season - the fewest in MLS.

Houston extended its unbeaten streak with its third straight win last week, 1-0 at the Chicago Fire.
"We were under a lot of pressure and I think we kind of defended with our lives today. The guys are playing well," said Onstad. "Defensively, we played very well." Houston holds the MLS record for fewest goals allowed in one season with 23 in 2007, when it won the second of two straight MLS Cups. Last season, the Dynamo allowed just over a goal a football betting lines game.
