Following what was a disappointing midweek result away in Ohio, the Los Angeles Galaxy will return to Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday evening, where they'll host a Real Salt Lake that also tasted defeat on Wednesday night. Things aren't going too well for the Galaxy, who are without a league win in two games, while they've won just one of their last seven MLS games.
Fortunately, they're going up against the RSL boys, who had the wind knocked out of them by Inter Miami in the week, so this is probably not a bad opportunity for the hosts to thrive. Exciting home-team forward Gabriel Pec finally got his campaign up and running in terms of goals during the week, and given how many promising positions he's been getting into on home turf this season, his first home goal is likely right around the corner too.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Having scored what was a long overdue first goal of the season, Gabriel Pec could very easily go on a run of notching. In fact, it would be a bit of a surprise if the floodgates didn't now open for the Brazilian, who has been hugely active in offensive areas for the Galaxy this season. Now that he has his first goal, he should be feelign more confident, and let's be honest, it's not like he fails to shoot with superb regularity.
Given his numbers and with the extra confidence that his midweek goal will bring, Pec looks too leniently priced to score on home soil.
