Atlanta United will be looking to claim their first points of the new MLS season when they host Real Salt Lake at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday night.
After a turgid 2025 seaosn, United have begun the new campaign in similarly depressing fashion. Back to back 2-0 losses to San Jose and Cincinnati have left Gerardo Martino's side rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference table and still looking for their first goal of 2026.
Real picked up their first victory of the seaosn last weekend, thanks to a battling 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders. As the 1-0 opening day loss at Vancouver showed, Real still have some way to go before they can compete with the very best teams in MLS, but the early signs are that Pablo Mastroeni's team can once again challenge for a playoff spot.

Our Atlanta United Fc vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Atlanta have looked very poor in the early stages of the season, so we think this game represents an excellent chance for Real to pick up a valuable road victory.
Real's main problem over the last two seaosn has been keeping clean sheets, and they have now conceded in each of their last fixtures.
So whilst we are backing the visitors to claim all three points, we are also tipping Atlanta to finally score their first goal of the campaign.
Our prediction for Atlanta United vs Real Salt Lake is: Real Salt Lake to win and both teams to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
