Real Salt Lake vs Colorado Rapids Preview
Real Salt Lake are brimming with confidence after a 3-0 victory over Houston Dynamo and will fancy their chances against inconsistent Colorado Rapids. As Colorado continue to struggle on the road, we predict a 3-1 home win. The Royals have won five of their last seven matches and boast an impressive 83% home win rate, averaging 2.33 goals per game in Utah. Pablo Mastroeni’s side have produced goals, scoring in nine of their previous ten outings, although injuries to Barea, Eneli, and Piol reduce squad depth.
Colorado Rapids edged Minnesota United 1-0 last time out, but their away form remains a concern. The Rapids average only 0.80 goals per away match and have collected just one win from their last five road games. Injuries to Atencio, Ku-DiPietro, and goalkeeper Steffen weaken the visitors. Historically, Real Salt Lake dominate this fixture with 24 wins from 43 meetings, while 53% of those clashes have produced over 2.5 goals.
Considering Real Salt Lake's excellent home form, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Real Salt Lake Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total.
