Prediction: 1-1
Los Angeles Galaxy
Real Salt Lake will look to extend their unbeaten run to four games when they take on Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday morning. The Royals have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. Both Erik Holt and Zack Farnsworth are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
LA Galaxy, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. Since the visitors are desperate to get back on course, both teams to score betting option should be considered this time out. Keep in mind, though, that Mexico superstar Javier Hernandez Chicharito is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 1-0 loss to Charlotte, while defender Sega Coulibaly continues to miss out with a leg injury.
Highlighted Player (Javier Hernandez):
Javier Hernandez or Chicharito is a 27-year-old striker who plays for German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. He began his professional career in 2006 playing for the Mexican club Guadalajara. His first break came in 2010, ahead of the FIFA World Cup, when he became the first Mexican player to join the English Premier League side Manchester United.
He was very effective at United endearing himself to the fans with some crucial goals. Chicharito played for Real Madrid in 2014-15 season on loan and had limited success with them. But he revived his career with a move to Leverkusen in 2015 with whom he has regained his prolific scoring record. Hernandez carries his prolific form to national colors too.
Having made his senior national debut in 2009, Chicharito has 43 goals from 80 games for the national team. He is the second highest goal scorer of all-time for the Mexico national team.
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.
