Why Bet on Real Salt Lake?
Real Salt Lake has been one of the most compact and consistent teams in this 2024 MLS season, and there is no doubt about that. Right now, they are in a fierce battle for the top of the standings in the West with LAFC and LA Galaxy, so every game is crucial for them in their quest to stay at the top.
Currently, RSL sits with 40 points equal with the Californian teams, with a record of 11 wins, seven draws, and three losses, with 43 goals scored and 25 conceded. Although the team did not perform as well as expected in the last few games, they are coming off an excellent victory against Houston Dynamo, with a great score of 3-2.
In this match, although they started losing, they managed to recover to turn the score around and take the three points.
Why Bet on the Atlanta United?
On the other hand, we have a team that has not been able to reach the level of play and performance that led them to dominate MLS several seasons ago.
Currently, they are in the middle of the MLS East standings, with a record of six wins, six draws, and nine losses, with 29 goals scored and 27 conceded. Atlanta United needs their defense to wake up and be much more solid from now on. Otherwise, they will undoubtedly not be able to climb any higher in the standings and their presence in the playoffs will be seriously in doubt.
Atlanta comes into this matchday after an away loss a few hours ago against the New England Revolution, with a score of 1-2.
