The Houston Dynamo pulled off one of the most surprising results in the last MLS matchday: a resounding 4-1 victory over LAFC at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, a win that saw them as underdogs. This victory forced sportsbooks to offer odds of +360. With this win, which propelled them to eighth place in the Western Conference, the Dynamo will visit sixth-place Real Salt Lake next Wednesday, with only one point separating the two teams.

The Texas team is certainly on a roll; the Houston Dynamo have won six of their last seven matches, including two US Open Cup games. In the previous match, there was clearly a standout player, and that was young midfielder Jack McGlynn. He had one of the best games of his career, opening the scoring for his team in Los Angeles with a first-time finish; he himself admitted it was a spectacular goal, while his second goal was just average. The ambitious midfielder dreams of being called up to the US national team for the next World Cup.

On May 9, Real Salt Lake lost 3-1 against fellow Texas team FC Dallas in Frisco. Diego Luna scored a consolation goal for the Claret and Cobalt, but it wasn't enough to prevent the defeat.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

Only three MLS matchdays remain before what will be a very long break due to the World Cup. In that sense, not knowing what condition the players will be in after the restart, the Houston Dynamo will want to make the most of their best run of the year in 2026.

But America First Stadium is a very difficult venue, as the Timbers learned the hard way when they last lost there against Real Salt Lake. For the Claret and Cobalt, there are a few players looking to impress and earn a spot on the World Cup roster; one of them, Diego Luna, who created 27 goals for his team this season.

Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo is: Over 3.5 goals.
