We should be in for a rather intriguing game of soccer as Real Salt Lake welcome New York City to America First Field. Both of these sides have had pretty average seasons so far. The Claret and Cobalt sit in 10th spot in the Western Conference table and are just a point off a Wild Card place. New York City is in 9th place in the Eastern Conference standings, sitting in the final Wild Card Round qualifation spot. Similarly matched teams, and both have similar recent records heading into this match.
Both Real Salt Lake and the Pigeons are in dire form. The Claret and Cobalt have lost five and drawn one of their last six fixtures. New York City's recent form doesn't make for good reading, either, losing three and drawing three of their last six.
One factor that works in Real Salt Lake's favor is their reasonably good home record. They've only lost twice on home soil in MLS, winning seven and drawing twice. New York City has only won three times on the road in the league this year, although they have drawn their last two away fixtures. For our prediction, we're leaning towards a home win though we think both teams will score. True, Real Salt Lake are in awful form, but four of those five defeats have come on the road. We think they'll do just enough to take all three points from this one.

Our Real Salt Lake vs New York City Prediction
While both sides are in really poor form right now, we think the home side will sneak a win here. True, their form has been awful in recent weeks, but most of those defeats have come away from home. Real Salt Lake do possess a good home record, one we think they'll extend against New York City. Both sides should find the net, though, with the Claret and Cobalt doing just enough to win the game.
Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs New York City is: Real Salt Lake to win/BTTS
