Prediction: 1-1
Los Angeles FC
Thursday’s football game at America First Field pits together Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles FC, the two playoffs-chasing teams. The Royals desperately needed a win against Sporting Kansas City and they managed to get one (2-1), with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run. As a win over Los Angeles FC will see Real Salt Lake climb to the playoffs berth, we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach this time out. The good news for the hosts is that experienced defender DeAndre Yedlin is back from suspension.
The Black and Gold, on the other hand, looked sharp up front in a 4-2 win over San Jose Earthquakes and given Real Salt Lake’s attacking potential at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in MLS, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat. All Igor Jesus, Lorenzo Dellavalle, and Aaron Long miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
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.
