Real Salt Lake vs St. Louis City tips and predictions

St. Louis City anxious to do something in this clash

St. Louis City could be a surprise package here but it would be some shock. They are genuine outsiders so this isn't a confident prediction.

The hosts have looked out of sorts in some of their latest performances. Real Salt Lake have been somewhat unreliable. They've lost 4 of their last 10 games as hosts. In the most part they've not been punished but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 10 home matches which is a fact that will encourage fans of the visiting team.

St. Louis City have produced some performances of note. While they are not hugely fancied there is still some logic in liking the chances for an away win. They've scored two or more goals in all of their last 4 games. And to have any chance of success they'll have to contribute more goals to that number.

Winning might be far-fetched but they can pinch something here. Perhaps a well contested draw is on the cards. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Real Salt Lake. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting here. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Over 2.5 Goals in this match given the prices available there.

The hosts might not be in great shape for this. They had a setback on their own soil earlier this month against Colorado Rapids, losing by a 2-1 scoreline.
