Prediction: 2-1
Nashville
Sunday’s football game at Rio Tinto Stadium pits together Real Salt Lake and Nashville, the two teams who meet for the first time ever in the Major League Soccer. Real Salt Lake have been playing some high-scoring games at the start of the season, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Nashville. Everton Luiz is out of contention through injury, while both Anderson Julio and Aaron Herrera are rated doubtful for the match.
Gary Smith’s men, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over New England Revolution. Nashville, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and that is the main reason why we are going to put our money on the Royals. Both Daniel Rios and Abu Danladi are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team ahead of the trip to Utah.
