Ben Olsen will be hoping Houston Dynamo can take another step in the right direction when they visit Real Salt Lake for Thursday s MLS meeting.
The Dynamo recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Charlotte FC in their last outing, with this the chance to find a third straight victory and continue their resurgent form.
El Naranja sit sixth in the Western Conference standings, one point adrift of the top four, yet head coach Olsen still wants improvements from his Houston roster.
It s a step in the right direction, we ve got a week to recover – Salt Lake away that is never going to be easy, Olsen said after the Charlotte win, looking ahead to RSL.
And then LAFC comes [to us at home], so it was important to get the last three points.

A civil claim involving Liverpool fans who suffered injury and distress at the 2022 Champions League final in Paris has been settled.
UEFA issued a statement on Friday evening confirming that a “full and final settlement” had been agreed with fans represented by Pogust Goodhead and Bingham Long who had made personal injury claims.
The terms of the settlement will remain confidential, UEFA said.

Serious congestion problems outside the Stade de France in Paris saw thousands of Liverpool fans penned in against perimeter fences and stuck in a moto…
Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga for the seventh year in a row, despite Borussia Dortmund pushing them harder than in recent seasons.
Lucien Favre s side have made great progress this term with a thrilling young side including stars such as Jadon Sancho, yet they may rue a missed opportunity in the 2018-19 season.
Dortmund made a flying start and led Bayern by seven points earlier in the campaign, only for the defending champions to come roaring back under Niko Kovac, capitalising on BVB s patchy post-Christmas form and sealing the title with Saturday s 5-1 hammering of Eintracht Frankfurt.
Omnisport looks back at nine key games that ensured the championship shield will be residing in Bavaria once again.

Goalkeeper Diego Benaglio believes that Switzerland have learned the lessons of their 2010 FIFA World Cup experience.
The Swiss opened their tournament with victory over eventual champions Spain four years ago, before failing to qualify from the group.
Ottmar Hitzfeld s men kicked off the 2014 event with another win on Sunday beating Ecuador 2-1 but Benaglio, who was part of the squad in South Africa, is confident of reaching the knockout stages this time around.
Of course, the atmosphere is good, but I think that everyone who was involved four years ago is wary of what can happen, he is quoted as saying by FIFA.com. We ve learnt our lesson.
We ve already won against a competitor for a spot in the next round, so things already look brighter than at the …
