Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo Prediction & Betting Tips (4 July)

Real Salt Lake, long leader in the West, has finally been given priority by the two Los Angeles franchises and must now chase after it. 3rd with 37 points, it seems on track for the locals to participate in the playoffs, and for the 3rd time in three years. MLS champion in 2009, Salt Lake was exited in the first round of the playoffs last season and will look to do better by going to the last four or even the conference final. Last weekend, after a wonderful 15-game unbeaten streak in the big league, the RSL conceded its first defeat since March 10 against the LA Galaxy at home 0-1. Of the 15 matches without defeat, the locals have won 9 matches and 6 draws.

The Houston Dynamo is not to be outdone on its side. Certainly distanced from 3rd place with 7 lengths behind, the Texans still occupy 6th place and above all they remain on a very good wave of six games without defeat for a record of 3 victories and 3 draws. The latest victory came just last weekend, with the smallest score for a 1-0 victory over Charlotte FC, following on from their success against struggling DC United. 1-4.

Selected with Jamaica for the Copa America, Kevon Lambert could be back following the elimination of his selection. Injured against the LA Galaxy, Bonilla and Holt (not an appearance yet this season) will probably be out again tonight as will Pablo Ruiz (3 caps in MLS). Top scorer in the league with a total of 16 goals, the Colombian Arango (10 assists as a bonus) will probably be there, he who was not called up for the Copa America. As an example, he surpasses superstars like Messi and Suarez in the goalscoring charts. His compatriot Carlos Andres Gomez (10 goals, 7 assists) should also be there without forgetting to mention the Ecuadorian Anderson Santos (6 pawns in MLS).

Having gone to defend the colors of Panama at the Copa America, Carrasquilla (5 assists in MLS) will not be present this night. Same case for Nelson Quinones, injured. On a personal level, mention to the great campaign of Aliyu (5 goals, 4 assists), the Ghanaian midfielder Blessing (5 pawns) and the Paraguayan recently returned from injury, Carlos Ferreira (4 goals, 2 assists in only 8 appearances ).
