Prediction: 3-2
Real Salt Lake
Montreal will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Nashville when they welcome Real Salt Lake to their Saputo Stadium. The Canadian outfit are eyeing their fourth consecutive win on home soil, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Sierra Leon forward Kei Kamara should keep his place up front after finding the net in the midweek loss, while both Bjorn Johnsen and Mason Toye continue to miss out with injuries.
The Royals, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Austin. Real Salt Lake, though, have been struggling on the travels this season, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. The Royals’ injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Kreilach, Holt, Menendez, Halsey, and Farnsworth.
Highlighted Player (Romell Quioto):
Romell Quioto is a pacey winger who plays for both Houston Dynamo and the Honduras national football team. Quioto was born in Balfate (Honduras) on August 9, 1991 and he played for Union Ajax during his youth career.

In 2012 he was sent on loan to Polish club Wisla Krakow, but he played no more than nine games for The White Star in Ekstraklasa. Romell Quioto then took a step forward in his career as he signed a contract with famous Honduras club Olimpia. After scoring 38 goals in 96 league fixtures for the capital club the 180-cm-tall attacker decided to taste MLS football.

Highlighted Team (Real Salt Lake):
Real Salt Lake joined Major League Soccer in 2005 as an expansion team of the league and four years later they won their first MLS Cup. The Royals faced star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game at Qwest Field in Seattle and Jason Kreis’ troops defeated David Beckham and Co. on penalties.
In 2013 Real Salt Lake made it to the MLS Cup final for the second time in the club’s history, but they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City on penalties this time out. The Royals participated in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2011 as well, but Monterrey of Mexico eventually won the title. Real Salt Lake footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white.
The likes of Clint Mathis, Jeff Cunningham and Eddie Pope are some of the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Jeff Cunningham scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in the league for the Royals.
