Lonestar face Houston FC on Sunday, Jun 28 at 2:00 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the USL League Two, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Lonestar come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Houston FC, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Lonestar head into this on the back of a defeat, while Houston FC arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Lonestar and Houston FC have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Lonestar won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Lonestar a slight edge, but Houston FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
