- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.48
Real Salt Lake is presently in 9th place in the Western Conference, but wants to go up positions and catch up to every other club, after a rough start to the season; they recorded four successive losses. But the team has started gaining points already, which shows they can’t be pushed around by anyone.
In their last match, they defeated the San Jose Earthquakes by a 3-1 result. Andrés Gómez contributed to this victory with a goal and an assist. Salt Lake is beginning to look more like a club with a solid defense, although it conceded at least one goal in the last three matches it played. The good thing is that the club can now react.
Pablo Mastroeni’s team is more invested in gathering points, particularly at home, where they won two out of four matches. Winning today’s home game is important to them because they could use Utah’s altitude to punish its opponent.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Zac MacMath, Bode Davis, Justen Glad, Marcelo Silva, Brayan Vera, Andres Gomez, Jasper Loffelesend, Pablo Ruiz, Jefferson Savarino, Anderson Julio, and Rubio Rubin.
Betting On The Seattle Sounders
- 1XBet Spread: +1.5
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.72
The Seattle Sounders are one of the top teams in the League, just like Salt Lake, but they reacted quickly and won three consecutive games.
On the last matchday, the team won the Minnesota United team by a minimum difference, in a match where they tried everything until the 80th minute when they scored the goal that changed their situation.
Now, if they win this game, they could become the Western Conference leaders, which is possible especially since they won two of four matches played in this condition.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frai, Alex Roldan, Yeimar Gomez, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Joao Paulo, Jordan Morris, Nicolas Lodeiro, Leo Chu, and Raul Ruidiaz.

MatchPlug Prediction
Utah’s altitude will make a significant role in this match, but fans cannot forget Real Salt Lake’s current performance. On that note, Seattle’s team, with Nico Lodeiro and Ruidíaz, can cause some trouble with their opponents.
This is why experts believe that the Sounders will win this game. Their offensive lineup is strong and Utah’s defense struggles.
Final Prediction: Real Salt Lake Moneyline.
