Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips
Next up is an all-Western Conference clash between bottom half outfit, Minnesota United and play-off chasing Real Salt Lake when the two teams face off at the TCF Bank Stadium, with the hosts no doubt keen to improve their fortunes here.
Although the hosts have lost four of their last five matches overall in the MLS, they’ll be quietly confident that they can get something out of this encounter as they’ve recorded recent wins at home against Montreal Impact and Toronto, while Real Salt Lake have been poor on the road as well.
Minnesota’s home record stands at a so-so 5-1-3 13/11 but with the likes of forwards Quintero (6 goals) and Ramirez (4 goals) along with Ibarra (4 goals, 4 assists), the hosts stand a chance of claiming something here.
Real Salt Lake currently occupy fourth spot in the Western Conference thanks to an overall impressive record at home which also includes recent back-to-back home wins against Sporting Kansas and FC Dallas.
But while Real Salt Lake’s success so far this season has been built around a solid home record which stands at 8-1-1 21/12, their results away from home have left a lot to be desired for a team that wants to be considered serious challengers for a Finals play-off place.
An away record of 1-1-7 6/22 highlights the problems the visitors have had on their travels during this campaign, and seven defeats from their last eight on the road further underlines their troubles.
To sum up, this match is by means a foregone conclusion in favour of the better placed Real Salt Lake, and I believe Minnesota United have a chance of getting a result here.
