There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Major League Soccer table so far. Here's the Real Salt Lake - Los Angeles FC latest:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's quite the trip for Los Angeles FC when visiting Salt as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
Real Salt Lake form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Real Salt Lake, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Major League Soccer, have to build on here at Rio Tinto Stadium in the Major League Soccer.
Real Salt Lake's previous game was a Major League Soccer match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus LA Galaxy (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Ahead of that match, Salt lost 1-2 at home to Vancouver Whitecaps.
The Salt fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
Los Angeles FC form and stats
Los Angeles FC, who have the most scored goals (31) in Major League Soccer, have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 4 away matches played so far in the Major League Soccer. It's all red in the travel logs of Angeles, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Los Angeles FC go into this game after a win, the home game against Vancouver Whitecaps that ended 6-0. Prior to that match, the Los Angeles FC manager B. Bradley faced defeat when travelling to Seattle Sounders and losing 0-3.
As mentioned above, Angeles was the only team on the pitch versus Vancouver Whitecaps in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Angeles's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. The Angeles defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 12 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Salt - Los Angeles FC 3-0 earlier this season. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Salt, zero draws and five wins for Los Angeles FC. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
