HOUSTON (Friday, May 17, 2013) - The Houston Dynamo will face the New England Revolution tomorrow evening (kickoff: 7:30 p.m. CT) at BBVA Compass Stadium, in a game presented Budweiser. Tickets are still available at www.HoustonDynamo.com or at the stadium ticket office (2200 Texas St., Houston) from noon through kickoff on Saturday.

Saturday's game will be broadcast live on KPRC Local 2, with the pregame show beginning at 7 p.m. Fans can listen to the game on Yahoo Sports Radio 1560 AM and La Ranchera 850 AM (Spanish).

After Sporting Kansas City snapped their MLS record 36-game home unbeaten streak on Sunday, the Dynamo will look to begin a new streak at BBVA Compass Stadium, where they are 19-1-8 in all competitions since it opened last May.

Saturday's game is the last Dynamo regular season home game until June 22. The club will play its next three games on the road - at Sporting Kansas City, at Columbus and at Montreal - and has two weekends off in June due to World Cup qualifying matches.

The Dynamo (6-3-2; 20 points) are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference with the Montreal Impact (6-2-2) and Sporting Kansas City (6-4-2) and one point behind the New York Red Bulls (6-4-2). The Revolution (2-4-4; 10 points) are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference after a 1-1 home draw with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

Houston has lost two or more consecutive home games only twice in franchise history. The Dynamo lost two in a row at home in 2007 and three straight in 2010. On both occasions the Revolution were the final loss in the home losing streak.

The Revolution features Honduran national team forward Jerry Bengtson, French striker Saer Sene and newly acquired forward Juan Agudelo, who has made 17 appearances for the U.S. national team.

The Dynamo are unbeaten (2-0-2) in their last four meetings with New England. Houston won the most recent encounter, a 2-0 victory at BBVA Compass Stadium last September. The Revolution won four consecutive games in Houston from 2007-10 before the Dynamo won the last two meetings in the Bayou City.

Saturday is the first of three games between the clubs this season, with Houston visiting New England on July 13 and Sept. 28.
