HOUSTON - The Houston Dynamo will face the Columbus Crew on Saturday at 8 p.m. CT at BBVA Compass Stadium in a match presented by Amgen. Tickets are available at www.HoustonDynamo.com, by calling 713-276-GOAL, or at the stadium ticket office (2200 Texas St., Houston) from noon through kickoff on Saturday.

Tomorrow's game will be broadcast live on KPRC Local 2, with the pregame show beginning at 7:30 p.m. The game can be heard on Yahoo Sports Radio 1560 AM and La Ranchera 850 AM (Spanish).

The Dynamo (8-6-6; 30 points) are tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference after a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire last Saturday extended their unbeaten streak to three league games. The Crew (6-10-5; 23 points) are in eighth place in the East after a 2-1 setback at Toronto FC last Saturday.

Dynamo forward Will Bruin is back with the club after helping the United States national team win the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday. Bruin is available for selection for the first time since June 30 at New York.

Columbus features 2012 MLS Newcomer of the Year Federico Higuaín, who had five goals and seven assists in 13 games last season before registering five goals and six assists and starting all 21 games this year. The Crew's attack includes Dominic Oduro (nine goals) and Costa Rican forward Jairo Arrieta.

The Dynamo and Crew played to a 1-1 draw in their first game this season, June 1 at Columbus. The clubs have drawn each of their last four meetings and nine of 15 all-time games between Houston and Columbus have ended in ties.

Saturday is the second of three meetings between Houston and Columbus this season. The clubs will play again on Sept. 4 at Crew Stadium.

In addition to the local game broadcast on KPRC Local 2, out-of-market fans can follow the match through the NBC Sports Network's "MLS Breakaway" studio show - a special 90-minute "whip-around" show featuring multiple live look-ins to regional broadcasts of four MLS games on Saturday night.

On Sunday at 10 a.m. CT the Houston Dynamo Reserves (4-2-0, 12 points) meet the Columbus Crew Reserves (3-5-1, 10 points) in the MLS Reserve League at Houston Amateur Sports Park.
