Prediction: 1-1
Real Salt Lake
After suffering a heavy (3-0) loss to Houston Dynamo, Minnesota United will be looking to return to winning ways in MLS when they take on Real Salt Lake at their TCF Bank Stadium. The Loons are not enjoying a season to remember, but they are still in the race for a place in the play-offs. Minnesota United are likely to fight tooth and nail against Real Salt Lake, but beating the Royals, who head into Sunday’s football match following back-to-back wins over Sporting KC and Dallas, is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards and we predict the two teams are going to play out a draw at TCF Bank Stadium. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Real Salt Lake emerged triumphant, but share of spoils is on the horizon this time out.
