Prediction: 3-0
Real Salt Lake
New York City will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Philadelphia and Toronto when they take on Real Salt Lake on Sunday. The Blue Pigeons have yet to find their best form at the start of the season, but this game could be the turning point for the home team. Defender Anton Tinnerholm remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Royals, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with the likes of Colorado Rapids and Toronto. Real Salt Lake are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. As for the visiting team, all Holt, Menendez, Glad, Ochoa, Halsey, and Farnsworth are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Alexei Koselev):
Alexei Koselev is a Moldovan international who plays for Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard. Koselev started his youth career at Kuban Krasnodar, but he did not see any game action with the Russian club at senior level.
The Moldovan goalkeeper played for the likes of Gagauzia, Dacia-2 Buiucani, Real-Succes, Saxan Gagauz Yeri, FC Tiraspol, Sheriff Tiraspol, and Politehnica Iasi before joining Fortuna Sittard in the summer of 2018. Alexei Koselev has 18 caps for the Moldova U21 team, and he made his senior debut in a qualifier against Russia in 2015.
The 200-cm-tall shot-stopper managed to keep his first clean sheet with the Moldova national team in a 2-0 win over San Marino on March 19, 2017.

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.
