On Saturday evening, there's Major League Soccer action at America First Field, where the Real Salt Lake boys will get down to business in front of a home crowd for the first time in 2026. Last weekend, they came unstuck on the road, leaving Vancouver with zero points. However, Pablo Mastroeni's men may not have felt too disheartened. After all, they fought hard, losing by the narrowest of margins, which is nothing to be ashamed about, especially given that they were up against a Whitecaps team that reached MLS Cup Final in 2025.
Visiting America First Field on Saturday will the Seattle Sounders, who made a winning start to the new season, beating the Colorado Rapids by two goals to zero. In typically sturdy fashion, the Sounders got the job done at Lumen Field, as they often did last season. Unfortunately, playing on the road frequently proved to be an issue for Brian Schmetzer's men.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
Anyone who has kept a close eye on Major League Soccer over the last decade or so will know that the Sounders are often tricky to face, but in recent times, especially last season, the men from Lumen Field have not been as strong away from home, while they're now up against an RSL team that performed well against a very, very strong Vancouver Whitecaps team during the opening weekend.
Back in front of a home crowd, faced with an easier assignment, having ended the previous campaign with three wins from their last four at home, the hosts are worth betting on. After all, they're taking on a Sounders team that lost three out of four on the road at the back end of the 2025 season.
