📰 Team News: San Diego FC
Marcus Ingvartsen (Leg injury), Emmanuel Boateng (Leg injury), Luca Bombino (Leg injury) and Manu Duah (Leg injury) will be missing for San Diego FC boss Mikey Varas.
We think that San Diego FC look set to go for a 4-1-2-1-2 formation this time with CJ dos Santos, Jasper Löffelsend, Ian Pilcher, Patrick McNair, Christopher Mcvey, Jeppe Tverskov, A. Alvarado Jr, Onni Valakari, Tomás Ángel, Anders Dreyer and Hirving Lozano.
📋 Team News: Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake manager Pablo Mastroeni has not got a full squad to pick from. Johnny Russell (Groin injury), Zac MacMath (Back problems), Kobi Henry (Muscle injury) and Matthew Bell (Muscle injury) miss out here.
It’s our belief that Claret and Cobalt appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Rafael Cabral, Bode Hidalgo, Philip Quinton, Brayan Vera, Alexandros Katranis, Braian Ojeda, Emeka Eneli, Tyler Wolff, Pablo Ruiz, Diogo Gonçalves and Forster Ajago.
✨ Prediction
We’re of the view that Real Salt Lake are likely to score a goal against this San Diego FC outfit, although it possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re expecting both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for San Diego FC by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
