Real Salt Lake Aim for First Win in Houston Since 2018
Looking to End a Four-Game Winless Streak
Real Salt Lake will look to snap a four-game winless streak when they visit the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night. RSL has not won in Houston since 2018, and they will be looking to change that this weekend.
Freddy Juarez's Comments
“We know it's going to be a tough game,” said Real Salt Lake head coach Freddy Juarez. “Houston is a good team, and they're playing well at home. But we're confident that we can go there and get a result.”
Recent Form
Real Salt Lake is coming off a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend. It was a disappointing result for RSL, who had taken an early 2-0 lead. Houston, meanwhile, is coming off a 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. It was a much-needed win for the Dynamo, who had lost their previous two games.
Key Matchup
The key matchup in this game will be in the midfield. Real Salt Lake has a strong midfield, led by Damir Kreilach and Albert Rusnak. Houston, meanwhile, has a physical midfield, led by Matias Vera and Darwin Ceren. The team that can control the midfield will likely control the game.
Prediction
This is a tough game to predict. Both teams are coming off of disappointing results, and both teams are looking to get back on track. I think Real Salt Lake will win this game 2-1. They have the better team, and they are due for a win.
