The Houston Dynamo will take to the field at Robertson Stadium on Saturday night to take on in-state rival FC Dallas.
The game will be the first of two home-and-home matches to determine possession of El Capitán.
El Capitán is a Civil War mountain howitzer which is awarded to the two-game series winner.
Houston has won El Capitán in three of the past five seasons, but Dallas took possession in 2010 with a 1-0-1 record.
The second game of the series will be played in September 24 in Frisco.
Houston (3-4-5) will be looking to end a five-game winless streak and continue its domination of the head-to-head series against Dallas.
The Dynamo leads the series 9-4-6 all-time.
Will Bruin and Cam Weaver continue to lead the team with a combined seven goals this season, with midfielder Brad Davis leading the MLS with six assists.
He scored his first goal this past Saturday against the New York Red Bulls.
After Saturday’s match, the Dynamo will hit the road to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, June 4.
They will return to Houston for consecutive home games against Chivas USA on June 11 and the Columbus Crew on June 18.
Houston is currently 3-4-5 with 14 points and sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference.
Dallas is in second place in the Western Conference with a 6-3-3 and 21 points.
