Why Bet on the Houston Dynamo?
Houston Dynamo is one of the historic teams in MLS, but their current form does not have them among the favorites for the title. However, a good end of the regular season could increase their aspirations.
This team comes from playing at home and drawing 0-0 with Los Angeles FC, which is, for many, the top candidate in the West to reach the final this year. In other words, it could be considered a valuable point.
Overall, the Dynamo are seventh in their conference with 41 points, just one unit ahead of Portland Timbers, who, for now, are going to the Play-In. Avoiding qualification through this route is crucial for this team.
Their offense, with 37 goals, has not proven very potent. On the contrary, their defense is the best among all the teams in their conference, conceding only 31 goals.
At home, they have three games without a win, and the most frequent result is a draw, with six in 13 matches. However, they have defeated this opponent in that condition in the last four.
They have Lawrence Ennali, Nelson Quiñones, and Gabe Segal out due to injury.
Why Bet on Real Salt Lake?
Real Salt Lake has been one of the most consistent teams throughout the season but has been slipping further and further away from the fight for first place in the West. They are currently third, behind LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC.
In their last meeting, they returned to the sweetness of victory, beating New England Revolution 2-0. The scorers were Anderson Julio and Philip Quinton.
The difference with the first place is five points. However, it is worth mentioning that this team has won only one of its last five matches. Also, Real Salt Lake has won only one of its five most recent away games, taking one point from the previous nine.
They have the second-best offense in the conference. Meanwhile, their player to watch is Colombian Cristian “Chicho” Arango, who has 17 goals and 11 assists.
Their injured players are defender Kevin Bonilla and midfielder Pablo Ruiz.
