Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo Predictions

Real Salt Lake were narrowly beaten 2-1 at home by LA Galaxy in midweek, while Houston Dynamo lost 3-1 at LAFC on Thursday and both teams will be hoping to make a return to winning ways this Monday.

All of the stats suggest that Real Salt Lake are in with a good chance of claiming all three points on Monday, with the likelihood of both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being produced, and we’re backing a final scoreline of 2-1.

The visitors edge the head to head record between these two sides but Real Salt Lake are unbeaten in their last four matches against Houston Dynamo and have won two of the pairs’ last three encounters. Both of Real Salt Lake’s last two wins against Houston Dynamo have ended 2-1 and both teams scored in four of the last five meetings between these two clubs, while over 2.5 goals were produced in three of the sides’ last five encounters.

Real Salt Lake have won two of their last three home games against SJ Earthquakes and Colorado Rapids, while Houston Dynamo have lost their last six away games against LAFC, Vancouver Whitecaps, Sporting KC, Dallas, Philadelphia Union, and New York City, so you can see why we fancy a home win on Monday.

The recent performances of both clubs leave a lot to be desired but both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in two of Real Salt Lakes’ last three and four of Houston Dynamo’s last six matches, so we are expecting goals in this game for both teams and have predicted a narrow 2-1 win for the hosts.

We’re confident that Real Salt Lake will win on Monday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts have been strong at home this season and come up against a Houston Dynamo side that are really struggling for points on the road. Both teams have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis which is why we can see both teams scoring and the hosts pinching a narrow 2-1 win.
