Score Prediction
One of the weakest matchups on paper due to the poor form of both teams. However, Houston Dynamo have shown they can be a solid team in attack, while Real Salt Lake have shown they can be an offensive powerhouse capable of scoring goals from anywhere.
Right now, neither of those two attributes is showing, but that doesn’t mean the game can’t be interesting given the quality of the players on the field.
Now, let’s not forget that the Dynamo is second in the Western Conference and a clear candidate for the MLS Cup. Even though recent results haven’t followed them, Houston has the upper hand over RSL.
Score prediction: Houston Dynamo 3-2 Real Salt Lake
