MLS betting tip
Real Salt Lake vs Orlando City preview
Real Salt Lake and Orlando City are two teams that are worth the price of admission. Both teams are in super form and should provide entertainment.
RSL has been on a record-breaking run away from home. They're unbeaten in 10 and have won seven of eight against MLS opposition.
If they can find a way to replicate that form at home then they suddenly become a serious contender to top the league and win MLS Cup.
They're now winless in six home matches, failing to score in four of those and losing to LAFC and LA Galaxy. They also drew 0-0 on three occasions.
We're going to give this fixture some famous last words treatment by saying that there's no way these teams play out a 0-0 draw.
City has recorded back-to-back wins, beating Chicago Fire 3-1 and Toronto FC 4-0. They've just lost one of their previous 11 MLS matches.
The 0-0 in Seattle was the first time they've failed to score since early May and we're fairly certain they'll find the net at America First Field.
The visitors have scored 14 times in nine away matches this season. They've won in Minnesota, Philadelphia, Miami and against the Red Bulls.
Both teams have found the net six times in Orlando's away matches with the same number featuring over 2.5 goals.
When RSL isn't playing out 0-0 draws against conservative teams, their remaining seven home matches have averaged 3.9 goals per game.
Orlando's trio of Duncan McGuire, Ercan Kara and Facundo Torres have 18 goals in 15 matches, while RSL has seven players with at least four goal involvements.
