Saturday's Major League Soccer game between Real Salt Lake and LAFC is one that both teams could do with winning, though right now, it's not easy to fancy either team. Both the hosts and the visitors head into this fixture in poor form, with the RSL boys winning none of their last nine league games. Marc Dos Santos' men are without a league win in five. 

In the betting, 'Under 3.0 Asian Total' appeals much more than the early market suggests it should. The visitors are struggling to score goals, failing to notch last time out, but they don't give a great deal away, while the hosts have found it much tougher to hurt teams since the departure of Zavier Gozo, while Morgan Guilavogui's injury hasn't helped in that respect either, so do not be surprised if we see a relative lack of goals at America First Field.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC Prediction

Given that we've seen very little end-product from these two teams in recent weeks, a relative lack of goals really does appear to be more likely than the early odds would have us believe. The low-scoring nature of both points towards 'Under 3.0 Asian Total' being mroe accurately priced around the -149 mark, so odds of -125 are well worth taking. 

In addition to failing to score last time out, the hosts created a measly 0.14 xG, and they may struggle to improve on that given the personnel issues highlighted above, so defense could be the order of the day. 

Our Real Salt Lake vs LAFC Pick: Under 3.0 Asian Total.
