Real Salt Lake hosts Houston Dynamo in a matchup that has historically seen no shortage of goals. In the past nine meetings, only two — the two matchups in the playoffs, where teams are naturally more cautious unless one team has the lead — has seen fewer than three goals scored. It happened again earlier this year, as Salt Lake went to Texas and emerged with a 2-1 win over Dynamo.
And if RSL ever needed a win, it’s now. The pressure is really on for Salt Lake to produce during July, as they’re playing their second of four home matches this month. Only next week at Portland sees Salt Lake leave Utah, and RSL has taken seven points out of 12 in its past four at home. The loss was to Vancouver, who’s leading the Western Conference, which says what it takes to beat RSL in Sandy.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
Houston’s defense as of late has been just miserable. Whether it was the schedule turning or the defense simply running out of ideas, Houston has been allowing opponents to have almost a free shot at the net. Allowing three goals to San Diego is one thing, but Montreal isn’t exactly known for putting goals on the board. Montreal has scored 18 goals in 21 matches, and three came against Houston.
The only team that Houston has kept from scoring lately is St. Louis, and the Arches just aren’t close to the same team they’ve been in years past. The defense is leaking badly, and with RSL needing to make up ground for the playoff race, this is the hosts’ time to put up a top-quality performance. Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs. Houston is for Real Salt Lake to Win and Over 2.5 Goals.
