Friday, at 2:00, Real Salt Lake will receive a visit to New England Revolution in a match to be held on Sandy’s Rio Tinto Stadium.
Real Salt Lake, solid land statistics.
Winning the 6th place in the West Conference standings, Real Salt Lake remains in the first half of the hierarchy thanks to the results recorded on the ground. With 34 points after 16 home games, Salt Lake has scored only two failures, keeping its ultra-defensive style consistent. On the other hand, New England Revolution is just as spectacular, but somewhat less effective. With only eighth place in the Eastern Conference, New England also won most of the points this season at home, picking up “scraps” on the move. This is why bookmakers give their favorite winning streak to Salt Lake, despite its dubious form, which has not yet known the taste of victory for a month and a half in the MLS.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Real Salt Lake was forced five times, the New England Revolution in three more rows, while the other two duels ended in a draw
The previous direct match took place in May last year when New England landed 4-0 on its own.
New England’s last success on Real Salt Lake in MLS dates back to July 2007 from a 2-1;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Taking into account the ultra-defensive style of the two bands, we believe that both combatants will be able to score in this game. More than that, we could also head to a goal-ending goal, in which the underdog defenses of the two teams, and their offensive potential, would ideally reflect the performance of this game.
PREDICTION: Real Salt Lake to win @ 1.70
