We're fast approaching crunch time in the MLS regular season and this week's fixtures include a huge Western Conference matchup between tenth place Real Salt Lake and fifth place LAFC. A run of three consecutive defeats looked to have derailed Real's playoff ambitions, but they produced a much-improved display last time out to defeat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 and move to within a point of the wild card places.
Los Angeles are virtually assured of a place in the postseason, so their main objective in their remaining seven games is to improve their league position and secure a potentially easier playoff run. Last time out, a hat trick from Denis Bouanga, plus a goal from new signing Son Heung Min, helped LA to a thrilling 2-4 victory at the San Jose Earthquakes. Remarkably, that was Bouanga's second hat trick in three games, and the Gabon striker now has an impressive 18 goals in 26 MLS games this season.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
This is a massive game for both teams. Last week's victory over Kansas will have given Pablo Mastroeni's team a big shot in the arm and we think they will do enough to claim a vital point to aid their quest for a wild card place. LA have been pretty solid in recent weeks, but they do struggle to keep clean sheets, so we also really like the look of the 1.60 on both teams to score. Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC is: Draw and both teams to score.
