We’re of the thinking that Orange Crush seem likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting the game with Jonathan Bond, Antônio Carlos, Artur, Agustin Resch, Hector Herrera, Jack McGlynn, Diadié Samassékou, Guilherme Augusto, Mateusz Bogusz, Lawrence Ennali and Ezequiel Ponce.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Houston Dynamo are dangerous enough to break down this Real Salt Lake team, however it might not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Real Salt Lake after 90 minutes. Let’s see what happens here.
