Los Angeles FC will be aiming to continue their positive momentum when they welcome Real Salt Lake to BMO Stadium. Steve Cherundolo’s side head into the clash on the back of consecutive victories over Seattle Sounders and city rivals Los Angeles Galaxy, boosting their playoff ambitions. LAFC have been inconsistent overall, winning four of their last ten matches, but their home form has been more encouraging, with a 1.75 points-per-game average and only 1.25 goals conceded per match at BMO Stadium. However, injuries to Tillman, Palencia, and Igor Jesus could limit the hosts’ options. LAFC have also dominated this fixture historically, winning 14 of the previous 19 meetings against Real Salt Lake.
Real Salt Lake, meanwhile, arrive in confident mood after an impressive 4-1 victory over Burnley in their latest warm-up fixture. The Royals have enjoyed a strong run recently, collecting 1.90 points per game across their last ten matches and winning six of those encounters. Their attacking numbers have been particularly impressive, scoring 2.10 goals per game while recording 1.66 expected goals on average. However, their away record remains a concern, with no wins from their last three road matches and defensive issues causing problems outside Utah. Injuries to Eneli and Piol add further uncertainty ahead of the trip to California, but Salt Lake’s attacking quality could make this an entertaining contest.
LAFC have dominated this fixture historically and have regained momentum with back-to-back victories. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (Real Salt Lake matches average 3.40 goals, while 13 of the previous 19 H2H meetings produced three or more goals).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 03:30.
