Houston Dynamo will aim to finish their Leagues Cup group stage on a positive note as they host Real Salt Lake at Shell Energy Stadium.
Houston Dynamo suffered a disappointing start to their Leagues Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss to Atlas on Sunday, despite being heavily favored to win. Jose Lozano's 83rd-minute goal sealed their fate in a match they were expected to win.
While this defeat was only their second in 11 matches across all competitions since May 30, it leaves Houston Dynamo in a precarious position in the Leagues Cup. They currently occupy the bottom spot in their group without any points, meaning they must secure a victory in their final group-stage match to advance to the round of 32.
Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake began their Leagues Cup journey with a comeback 2-1 victory over Atlas, overturning an early deficit to claim a crucial win. This victory came after a recent three-game winless streak, which saw them gather only one point.
Despite Houston Dynamo's recent struggles, Real Salt Lake continues to find the net consistently, scoring 53 goals in 26 matches across all competitions this season. This offensive prowess should provide them with confidence as they prepare for another challenging away match, having won just once in their last nine games on the road.
