Why Bet on Real Salt Lake?
As we mentioned, Real Salt Lake lost first place in the Western Conference last week, after LAFC and LA Galaxy kept an excellent unbeaten streak.
Right now, RSL sits in third place in the West with an excellent record of ten wins, seven draws, and three losses, with 40 goals scored and 23 conceded. While the team’s offense has been working so far, there is no doubt that they need to be a bit more decisive when looking for wins, as those seven draws are what keep them three points behind the top of the standings.
However, the team continues to play very well despite coming from a loss at home against LA Galaxy, with a score of 0-1.
Why Bet on the Houston Dynamo?
On the other hand, the Houston Dynamo has maintained some regularity this 2024 MLS season, as they remain within the top seven of the standings and, for now, with a spot in the playoffs assured.
However, there is still a lot to play for, and Houston must solidify its performance if it wants to continue climbing up the table. They are currently sixth in the West with eight wins, six draws, and six losses, with 27 goals scored and 23 conceded.
The Houston Dynamo come into this matchday after two consecutive victories, against DC United by 4-1 and Charlotte FC by 1-0.
