Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer
by Devesh Jaganath in Major League Soccer Prediction
Los Angeles FC will continue their title defense this week when they travel to Utah to take on Real Salt Lake at America First Field in the MLS on Sunday. The visitors suffered their first loss of the league season in their last match against the San Jose Earthquakes last week, which brought an end to their eight-match unbeaten run. LAFC are in third place in the MLS Western Conference with 18 points after nine matches, two points behind the Seattle Sounders at the top of the league, though they have played two games less than early leaders. The visitor's away record this season could use some improvement, with just one win in five matches, along with three draws and a loss. LAFC won the last encounter between these sides 2-0 and will be looking to extend their 6-match winning streak over this opponent by taking another three points from this one.
Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake are yet to find high gear this season and come will come into this fixture in 11th place in the Western Conference with 11 points after their first 10 league matches. Following a stalemate in their last match against the Houston Dynamo's, the hosts now have a record of three wins, two draws, and five losses to date, scoring 10 and conceding 17 in that time. Real Salt Lake have won two, draw one, and lost two of their five matches at America First Field, though they are unbeaten in their last three matches (W2 D1). Historically this has been a tough fixture for the hosts in which they’ve been outscored 15-5 in their winless streak, and they will likely find it difficult to contain the free-flowing defending champions for 90 minutes.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
Having gotten the better of this opponent in their last six encounters, Los Angeles comes into this match as the favourites, but not by much. They have been good this season, but their away form is questionable, though they have found the net more often than not. This is a fixture that generally delivers goals, and we expect that to be the case in this one as well. Our Real Salt Lake v Los Angeles prediction is for there to be over 2.5 goals scored.
