Real Salt Lake vs St Louis City Prediction
Real Salt Lake vs St Louis City Prediction and Betting Tips for this weekend’s MLS clash at America First Field. Both teams are desperate to climb away from the foot of the Western Conference, and you’ll find our latest MLS Predictions right here from XpertStats’ expert tipsters.
- Real Salt Lake sit 13th in the West with 19 points from 19 matches.
- St Louis City have gone four games without a win and struggle on the road.
- Both sides average less than 1.2 goals scored per match this season.
Real Salt Lake have been frustratingly inconsistent this season, leaving Pablo Mastroeni’s side with a tough task to revive playoff hopes. A promising 2-0 win over DC United recently ended a long winless streak, but they couldn’t build on it fully, managing only a draw at Sporting Kansas City. RSL have notched up just five wins in 19 games, with goals hard to come by — they’re joint-worst in the West with an average of just 1.13 goals per match. Still, all their clean sheets and most of their points have come at home, where they’ll hope to lean on defensive stability once more.
Defensively, Real Salt Lake have been more solid at America First Field, picking up three wins and a draw in eight home fixtures. They have only conceded an average of one goal per match and will need that resilience to see off a St Louis side that has been poor away from home. With top scorer Diego Luna still away with the US national team, players like Johnny Russell and Diogo Goncalves will have to step up and find the goals. Injuries remain a concern, but the Claret and Cobalt can take heart from their solid head-to-head record in this fixture.
St Louis City arrive in Sandy desperate to arrest a miserable run. They have gone four league matches without victory, including a narrow defeat at Houston Dynamo last weekend. Once known for their shock top finish in 2023, St Louis have found it impossible to replicate that form. Their away form is particularly poor, with no wins in their last eight trips and five straight defeats. Conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game while scoring just 0.7 highlights the lack of balance that has plagued their season so far.
Injuries and inconsistency continue to hamper interim boss David Critchley’s plans. Key players like Jake Girdwood-Reich and Alfredo Morales are doubtful, adding to a growing absentee list that already includes Rasmus Alm and Joakim Nilsson. With only one point from their last four games, St Louis must find a spark quickly, but the numbers don’t inspire confidence. The visitors haven’t kept a clean sheet in ten matches across all competitions, making their task even more daunting this weekend. For more insights, don’t miss our MLS Predictions updated daily.
Real Salt Lake look the better pick to claim all three points this weekend, mainly thanks to their stronger defensive home record. While their overall goal return is low at just 1.13 per match, they’ve shown resilience at America First Field, where all four of their clean sheets have come. St Louis City’s away form is among the worst in the league, winless in their last eight road games and losing the last five in a row. The visitors also concede an average of 1.6 goals per game while scoring just 0.7, highlighting their struggles to compete on the road. Despite missing key players like Diego Luna, Salt Lake have found ways to grind out results at home. Add in a head-to-head record that sees them unbeaten in their last four against St Louis, and the hosts have the edge to secure a crucial win to keep slim playoff hopes alive.
