Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake will lock horns on Saturday night in a league matchup at DSG Park. The Rapids are in a serious battle to secure a playoff position, sitting in the seventh spot with 28 points. That’s just 7 points ahead of the 14th-placed Austin and 7 points behind the third-placed LAFC. In their last assignment, the Rapids suffered a 3-0 humiliation away to San Diego to end their three-game winning run. They’re the -110 betting favorites this weekend.
Real Salt Lake, on the other side of the grass, are the +214 betting underdogs. They’re level on points with Colorado, Portland, and Minnesota, meaning a win could see them break into the “Top 7.” In their latest league assignment, they were defeated 2-1 by Orlando City despite taking the lead in the 36th minute. Real Salt Lake failed to recover from this defeat after losing 3-0 on the road to Leon in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals. They’ll be under pressure to win on Saturday.

Our Colorado Rapids vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Our money is on Colorado Rapids to win. Despite losing to Real Salt Lake in their last two meetings, the Rapids secured victories in their previous two home games against the visitors. However, the main reason we believe the Rapids will win is their strong home record this year. They’ve won seven of their home matches while losing only three times. In contrast, Real Salt Lake has a very poor away record of only one win and six defeats. Overall, we expect the hosts to ride on their home wave to win 1-0 or 2-0.
Our prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Real Salt Lake: Colorado Rapids on the moneyline.
