My Prediction
Real Salt Lake by 2Now here's a real doozy of a match we've got going for us, folks. We're talking Real Salt Lake, we're talking Saint Louis City SC. Now, you might be looking at this thinking, "Hmm, a desert versus a city, which would win?" Well, let's take a peek behind the curtain and see.
Among the goalkeepers, we've got Roman Bürki of Saint Louis City SC, a real firecracker with a 7.47 rating and a whopping 21 saves. Real Salt Lake's Rafael Cabral isn't far behind with a respectable 7.25 rating. However, he falls short in the saves department, having only kept 5 out of the back of the net.
In terms of top players, Saint Louis City SC isn't hurting! João Klauss and Marcel Hartel are leading the charge with 7.62 and 7.55 ratings, respectively. But hold onto your hats, Real Salt Lake isn't to be outdone! Their stars, Diogo Gonçalves and Johnny Russell, shine bright with an impressive 7.70 and 7.45 ratings, respectively.
In past match-ups, these two have danced this dance before. Most recently Real Salt Lake had Saint Louis doing the cha-cha with a 3-1 win. However, don't forget that there was a time in 2023 where Saint Louis City SC rocked the house with a 4-0 victory over Real Salt Lake.
On the regular season front, Real Salt Lake knows the sweet taste of victory slightly more often than our friends at Saint Louis with a record of 5-4-10 against Saint Louis' 3-6-11.
As for recent results, Saint Louis City SC has had a very mixed bag, with a fortnight of ups, downs, and draws. Much like the unpredictable weather of Saint Louis, their performance leaves onlookers scratching their heads. Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, has a fairer run, scoring a draw against Sporting Kansas City, a victory over DC United, and another draw against Austin FC.
So what's the word, bird? Who are we blessing with victory tonight? Well, if you ask me, which you did, and even if you didn't, as per the laws of sports color commentary, I'm still going to tell you. Drum roll, please...
