On Tuesday, August 6th, Houston Dynamo will host Real Salt Lake in the third round of the Leagues Cup group stage. The Dailysports team of analysts has prepared predictions and bets for this match.
Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo is currently in sixth place in the Western Conference of MLS. The "Orange" have accumulated 37 points, leading Austin by six points, who are outside the playoff zone. Houston had a weak start to the season but managed to turn things around. In their last 10 league matches, Houston Dynamo has suffered only one defeat, and they won their previous two games against Vancouver (4:3) and San Jose (0:1).
However, Houston started the Leagues Cup with a loss to Mexican side Atlas. Only a win in this match can allow the "Orange" to progress to the tournament's playoffs.
Real Salt Lake
The club from the northern US is a contender for the regular-season title in the Western Conference. Real Salt Lake occupies third place, trailing league leaders FC Los Angeles by 5 points, but they have a game in hand. However, in their last three MLS matches, the "Claret and Cobalt" have only managed to earn 1 point: losses to Portland (0:3) and Colorado Rapids (2:3), and a draw against FC Los Angeles (1:1).
In the Leagues Cup, Real Salt Lake started with a 2-1 win over Atlas, despite trailing 0-1 during the match. The decisive goals for Real Salt Lake were scored in the 45+2 and 79th minutes.
