Real Salt Lake v Houston Dynamo : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 4th Jul, 02:30 BST, Rio Tinto Stadium, Sandy

the Rio Tinto Stadium is the setting on Thursday morning, as Pablo Andrés Mastroeni's Real Salt Lake are visited by Ben Olsen's Houston Dynamo in the Major League Soccer. We've analysed both clubs' last 20 Major League Soccer matches, as well as baseline data within the competition and the market, to generate our match predictions. All the statistics, including head to heads (H2H), are shown below, alongside odds from leading bookmakers.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Salt Lake or Houston are in the sort of form that would have us feeling very confident in tipping a match winner, so instead we've gone for over 1.5 goals. The statistics tell us that both have form in this market, both individually and when going head-to-head. Our predictive algorithm suggests there's a 80% chance of two goals or more.
