Houston Dynamo vs Real Salt Lake

Current streaks

Recent form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent form presents a concerning trend for the club. They have managed only one win in their last six matches, with two draws and three losses completing the picture. The team's defensive frailties are particularly evident, having conceded 11 goals in these six games, with a high-scoring 4-1 defeat against Inter Miami standing out. Despite keeping two clean sheets, their goals conceded per game average of 1.83 is worrying. On a more positive note, Houston have been involved in some entertaining matches, with 67% of their games seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals. However, their current league position of 13th with just one point from three games suggests they are struggling to translate occasional promising performances into consistent results.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mixed bag of results across various competitions. The team have struggled defensively, conceding 12 goals in their last six matches, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to San Jose Earthquakes. Despite this, they have managed two clean sheets, including a 2-0 victory over Seattle Sounders in their most recent league match. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, but they have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably a 3-3 draw with New York Red Bulls in a friendly. Real Salt Lake's current 11th position in the league table reflects their patchy form, with only one win from their first three Major League Soccer matches. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their matches tend to be entertaining for neutrals.

Recent home/away form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent home form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak at their own ground. Their last victory at home came in a friendly against Columbus Crew, but since then, they have struggled to find their footing. The Dynamo have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.17 goals conceded per game, whilst only managing to keep one clean sheet during this period. Despite their defensive woes, Houston have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. The 3-3 draw against New England Revolution stands out as a particularly thrilling match. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures, suggesting that whilst Houston are struggling to keep opponents at bay, they are still finding the back of the net themselves, albeit not frequently enough to secure victories.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four consecutive stalemates preceding their most recent outing. The team have struggled to secure victories on the road, managing only one win in their last six away matches. Defensively, Real Salt Lake have shown some resilience, keeping two clean sheets in this period. However, their latest match against San Jose Earthquakes saw a significant defensive collapse, conceding four goals without reply. This high-scoring affair stands out as an anomaly in their recent away performances, which have generally been low-scoring encounters with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table league position, Real Salt Lake's away form suggests they are finding it difficult to convert draws into wins, with their goal difference of -3 highlighting the challenges they face on their travels.
