There's barely anything between these two. Houston Dynamo (12th, 37 pts) and Real Salt Lake (9th, 41 pts) meet in a fixture that could shape the MLS table.
Guilherme has been Houston Dynamo's spearhead, with 12 goals and 5 assists in 20 appearances, averaging 1.30 shots on target per game. S. Solans has been Real Salt Lake's main threat, with 9 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances, averaging 1.00 shots on target per game.
Houston Dynamo supporters have every reason to fancy this one. Their side is flying. 5 wins on the bounce. That W-W-W-W-W run is the kind of form you dream about heading into a game like this. It's been tougher going for Real Salt Lake lately (L-D-D-L-L), recent form reads L-D-D-L-L. but their fans know football rarely reads the script. One good start, one moment of quality, and Real Salt Lake are right back in it. On paper it's Houston Dynamo's to lose, and that pressure cuts both ways. Crucially, Houston Dynamo are in strong home form while Real Salt Lake are struggling away from home. the venue factor amplifies the form gap. A concern for Real Salt Lake: they're giving up chances worth 2.1 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.8 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Houston Dynamo create chances worth 1.4 a game (and give up chances worth 1.7), leaving them -0.3 a game on the balance. Real Salt Lake create 1.3 (giving up 1.8) for a balance of -0.5. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. Real Salt Lake's defence is giving up chances. Worth 2.1 a game over their last 5 vs 1.8 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
Houston Dynamo average 1.3 goals per game and Real Salt Lake manage 1.1. Combined that's just 2.4. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Neither side has much to play for in the grand scheme. no European places within reach and relegation isn't a concern. That can make for an unpredictable game with less pressure on both sides.
In the last 10 meetings: Houston Dynamo have won 4, Real Salt Lake 4, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 3.0 goals per game. 7 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Real Salt Lake 3-0 Houston Dynamo, Real Salt Lake 1-0 Houston Dynamo, Houston Dynamo 1-2 Real Salt Lake.
