Real Salt Lake vs Colorado Preview & Picks


Real Salt Lake arrive on the back of a commanding 2-0 win over the Seattle Sounders in their last outing. 

Colorado were able to see-off the Vancouver Whitecaps in a battling 1-0 win on their own patch. 

  • Real Salt Lake have won four of their last five (D1)
  • Colorado have lost one of their last two on the road 
  • Cristian Arango has scored 11 goals in the MLS this season

Head-To-Head


Real Salt Lake have won six of their last 10 against Colorado, with the latter winning twice and two games ending in draws. 

Real Salt Lake Form 


Real Salt Lake continue to impress in the MLS, with the side currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference with 25 points, meaning they are four clear of Minnesota United in second. 

Their run of four wins in six home games features three wins in their last four, while they have scored 10 times and conceded just three goals on their own patch. 

Cristian Arango has been in scintillating form in front of goal this term, netting 11 times, with this enough to see him rubbing shoulders with Luis Suarez at the top of the charts. Arango will be desperate to add to his tally this weekend. 

Colorado Form 


Colorado bounced back from a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes with a fighting 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in midweek. 

The worry for Colorado will be that they were beaten 2-1 by Cincinnati in one of their recent away games. This was their second defeat on the road this season, with Colorado hardly perfect away from home. 

While we do predict that Colorado will give their hosts some issues, we do not believe they have enough to take points from the current Western Conference leaders. 

Verdict

We are backing Real Salt Lake to take all three points from this one as Arango scores yet again.
