Real Salt Lake will be desperate to turn their home advantage into three points when they face New York City, with the Royals chasing a return to the playoff places. RSL are winless in six after a 2-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo, but their home numbers offer encouragement, with a 40% win rate and an impressive 2.60 goals scored per game. Booth, Dillon, Glad and Piol are all sidelined through injury.
New York City are also looking for a response after losing 2-1 to New England Revolution, a result that puts their playoff position under pressure. The Blue Pigeons have struggled badly on the road, winning none of their away games and averaging 1.50 goals conceded. However, they have scored in every away fixture, while BTTS has landed in 100% of their road matches. Luighi could earn a start after scoring as a substitute last time out.
Considering Real Salt Lake's 2.60 home scoring average, our main prediction leans toward Real Salt Lake Over 1.5, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals total (RSL home matches average 4.00 goals).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 02:30.
