Match description
I back a Real Salt Lake win because at home RSL averages 2.17 goals per game (xG 2.09) and concedes only 1.17. RSL creates on average 8 shots on target and 18.67 total shots at home, while Houston away averages 5.6 shots on target and 14.2 total shots, indicating a clear home advantage in chance quality. The visitors are in better results form — 4 wins in their last 5 and an average of 2.4 points per game — and have scored 8 goals in their last five matches, but they typically concede a lot on the road (2.6 goals conceded per away game and a negative goal difference of -3). In their last five, RSL also scored 8 but conceded 9, whereas Houston conceded only 4 in those five, which shows that despite the visitors’ better form their away defense can be unstable. Considering Real’s home advantage in xG (2.09 vs 1.56) and shots on target (8 vs 5.6), but also Houston’s superior run of results, I assess probabilities at 55% home win, 25% draw and 20% away win.
