One of Saturday's Major League Soccer fixtures to catch the eye is the one between Minnesota and Real Salt Lake, which is due to take place at Allianz Field. It's fair to say that the hosts haven't exactly made good use of their home advantage in recent times, losing two of their last three in front of a home crowd without finding the net, which means that an in-form RSL team should feel confident of upsetting the home crowd, which could grow rather unpatient, especially as their team continues to struggle offensively.
When push comes to shove on Saturday, the visitors may just have too much offensive quality for a home team that seemingly doesn't pack a punch at home. No Western Conference team has scored fewer home goals than Minnesota. The Loons have failed to find the net in three of their last five home games, and on that basis, they are worth opposing in the early betting.

Our Minnesota United vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Sure, the visitors have lost each of their last two away games, but they haven't played badly in defeat. You could definitely argue that they were unfortunate to lose away to the Galaxy, while they dominated the game against FC Dallas too, while this looks like an easier task. The Loons haven't offered too much offensive quality, even at home, so don't be too surprised if the RSL boys overpower their hosts at Allianz Field.
After two confidence-boosting wins on home soil, the visitors head back out on the road feeling upbeat, and given that their hosts are out of form, they look a little generously priced to get a positive result.
