Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Houston Dynamo is 6.72, compared to 7.01 for Inter Miami. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Houston Dynamo's highest-rated starter is J. McGlynn (7.41), while Inter Miami's best-rated player is J. Alba (7.39).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Houston Dynamo have contributed 4 goals and 4 assists this season, led by J. McGlynn (2G). Inter Miami's starters account for 48 goals and 47 assists, spearheaded by T. Allende (20G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Houston Dynamo deploy 4 defenders rated 6.45 on average, against Inter Miami's 4-man backline averaging 6.95. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Houston Dynamo field 5 midfielders averaging 6.91, versus Inter Miami's 3 rated 7.03. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Houston Dynamo start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.40, compared to 3 for Inter Miami averaging 7.07. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for Houston Dynamo and 51% for Inter Miami. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Houston Dynamo's starters have collected 7 yellow cards this season, compared to 48 for Inter Miami. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Houston Dynamo's starting XI is 27.2 (youngest: J. McGlynn (22), oldest: E. Sviatchenko (34)), while Inter Miami average 28.2 (youngest: B. Cremaschi (20), oldest: O. Ustari (39)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Houston Dynamo's starters average 10 league appearances each, versus 29 for Inter Miami. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
