Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake will face off in the MLS at Shell Energy Stadium this Saturday. Both teams are in the playoff zone, but their situations are different. While Real Salt Lake sit third, Houston is seventh and on thin ice because play-in teams are just one point behind them.

Before Betting on the MLS

Houston has 41 points and Portland 40, so we have a direct race for the playoff spot here. After the end of the Leagues Cup, Dynamo’s results have been mediocre, with them posting a win, a loss, and a tie each.

After losing to Toronto FC at home, 0-1, they defeated LA FC on the road, 0-2. Seven days after that, the two teams met again, only this time in Houston, with the game ending without goals.

Real Salt Lake played the last two games at home. They haven’t used that convenience very well, as RSL won just one match and lost the other. The first game was against San Jose, 0-2, and the next against New England, 2-0.

The team from Utah played 14 matches on the road, winning four of them, losing three, and posting seven ties, with a slightly positive goal difference of 23-22.

Houston Dynamo vs. Real Salt Lake Head to Head
