Toronto vs Real Salt Lake Game Winner
After a disastrous campaign so far Toronto have fired head coach Bob Bradley and his assistant coach, Mike Sorber. Only Inter Miami have a worse record to date in the MLS Eastern Conference.
In contrast, Real Salt Lake are on an unbeaten run of six games in all competitions. Suffering just one loss in their last nine league games.
It’s hard to understand how Pablo Mastroeni’s men are at higher odds than the hosts in this one. They are a confident addition to our tips for this game.
Handicap Predictions
Real Salt Lake City are great odds on the 0 Asian Handicap. This bet gives us the safety net of refunding our stake if the game ends in a draw and is the most confident of all of my predictions.
Correct Score Prediction
Five of the last seven and three of the last four league meetings between these sides at BMO Field have ended 1-0.
That trend can continue here in a game the home side will arguably be more keen not to lose than go for all three points. RSL can take advantage of that and extend their unbeaten run.
1×2 Predictions
Having picked up 11 points from their last 15 available Real Salt Lake City find themselves sixth in the Western Conference. Their last road game saw them cruise to a 3-1 victory over Conference leaders St Louis City.
This visit to Canada will hold no fears for them as they look to consolidate their place in the Play-Off positions.
Over/Under Predictions
Five of the last six Toronto home league games have seen fewer than three goals. Six of RSL’s last nine MLS fixtures also had under 2.5 goals.
Historical stats show that eight of the last nine head-to-heads in Toronto have featured no more than two goals. Therefore under 2.5 goals is the value addition to our picks in this market.
Our Analysis of the Toronto vs Real Salt Lake City Game
Terry Dunfield will be in charge of Toronto for this game after stepping up from his acadamy role to become the interim coach. He takes over a side that has struggled for points even when at full strength.
His task is made even harder with the absence of several key players to the Gold Cup.
Having not won a game since May 27th the visit of an in-form Real Salt Lake is not ideal. Not only have Pablo Mastroeni’s side lost just one of their last nine league games but they boast the best away record in the West.
Real Salt Lake’s Damir Kreilach scored twice in his side’s last away league game. The Croatian inspired his team to a comfortable win against the Conference leaders and became Salt Lake’s third all-time scorer with 47 goals in the process.
He will be keen to further add to that tally here.
Top Scorers Predictions for Toronto vs Real Salt Lake Game
Damir Kreilach is now only two goals behind second-placed Javier Morales in the RSL all time scorers list so will have added personal motivation here.
The 34-year-old missed large parts of April and May with a groin injury. Prior to being rested for the game with Minnesota at the weekend, he had started five of his side’s last seven MLS fixtures.
Expect him back in the starting lineup here and one of the standout picks in the scorers market.
Short headline on the predicted winning team
Real Salt Lake City showed their resilience in their last outing having fallen 2-0 down to Minnesota in the first half. They battled until the end with a Justin Glad strike in the 8th minute of added-on time grabbing a vital point and extending their unbeaten run.
It’s three wins and two draws from their last five MLS fixtures and no defeat in six games in all competitions. The win at St Luis City in their last away trip was a Conference-high fifth victorious road game this term.
Last results of the teams
Following successive 1-1 draws in Minnesota and at home to Nashville, Toronto have lost consecutive away games. A 3-0 defeat to Cincinnati was quickly followed by a 2-1 loss at New England which spelt the end of Bob Bradley’s time in charge.
Real Salt Lake City won back-to-back road games at DC United 2-1 and St Louis City 3-1. They had to settle for a point last time out however, coming from 2-0 down to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Minnesota.
