Real Salt Lake

LWLWLL

Real Salt Lake will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 MLS defeat in their last game at the hands of Minnesota United.

In that game, Real Salt Lake managed 65% possession and 15 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Minnesota United had 14 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Tani Oluwaseyi (30', 55') scored for Minnesota United.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Real Salt Lake have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Real Salt Lake have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals along the way.

Los Angeles Galaxy

Previously, Los Angeles Galaxy drew 0-0 in the CONCACAF Champions League match with Tigres de la UANL.

The stats don’t lie, and Los Angeles Galaxy have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals in all. In defence, Los Angeles Galaxy have been far from perfect. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.

🗞️ Team News: Real Salt Lake

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Real Salt Lake manager Pablo Mastroeni to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Zac MacMath (Back problems) misses out.

📋 Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy

Los Angeles Galaxy boss Greg Vanney has some current player fitness concerns. Marco Reus (Rest), Riqui Puig (Cruciate ligament tear), John Nelson (Hamstring injury), Mauricio Cuevas (Muscle injury) and Lucas Sanabria (Broken collarbone) will miss out on this game.

✨ Prediction

We think that Los Angeles Galaxy will do well to break down this Real Salt Lake team who we think might well end up scoring and staying ahead.

We’re therefore tipping a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Real Salt Lake at the end of this game.
