This Wednesday evening, California’s BMO Stadium hosts two very evenly matched teams, Los Angeles FC and Real Salt Lake, just one point separating the two, though with them having two games in hand, the visitors have the advantage.
It’s a perfect chance for RSL to steal all three points and leap over The Black and Gold, so much so Real Salt Lake youngster Zavier Gozo, their top goal contributor at present, to mark his name on the scoresheet once more is being significantly overlooked.
Los Angeles FC have already stepped back into league action with a glorious 0-3 victory at the weekend in El Trafico. Of course, they had a lot more to prove against their Californian rivals, plus being a side that’s struggling this season and ranking lower in the table than their upcoming opponents, who will give them more of a challenge.
Unbeaten in their last three, Mastroeni’s men will look to improve on their weaker elements, namely their away performances which are letting down their solid home efforts. They’ve had plenty of time over the interval to prepare, and should be raring to go in their first game back, especially Zavier Gozo, who was in top-rate form before the break.

Our Los Angeles FC vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
The nineteen-year-old really has impressed in his best season to date, and we should expect him to only get better. Prior to the international break, Gozo recorded five goals and assists in his last five, not failing to be involved in a goal in his last three, including their last outings away from home.
Whilst Los Angeles FC do have a commendable defensive record on home soil, when hosting the best teams from both conferences they have faced a couple of unrelenting attacks, shipping eight goals in their last three against the top seven. This should inspire RSL, as should the motivation of climbing into third place, and they shouldn’t be lacking in energy in their first game back.
Our Los Angeles FC vs Real Salt Lake Pick: Zavier Gozo to Score or Assist.
