With the playoff battle heating up in the West, every next round will have huge consequences on the standings. One of the events that could impact the postseason is in Kansas City, where Sporting hosts Real Salt Lake.
Before betting on SKC vs. Real Salt Lake
The hosts took four points in the last two events, stopping a cold streak that saw them failing to win three in a row prior to all this. After beating the Whitecaps at home in Kansas, 3-0, SKC split a point each in Houston against Dynamo, 2-2.
High efficiency is frequent when SKC plays, and eight of their last ten games saw three or more hits. Both teams netted in eight meetings during the same span, and the stats are similar when they play at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes and the boys don’t change tactics depending on the venue.
Real Salt Lake is one of the teams with the best form in the MLS. RSL didn’t lose over the recent eight events. Their record during that span has been five victories and two draws, with them scoring twice in five meetings throughout this streak.
It’s no wonder to see them sitting fourth in the West after 20+ meetings. Pablo Mastroeni is the key to success, as the 46-year-old prefers his team to play modern, fast-paced, and efficient football. Real had seven of the latest ten encounters concluding with three or more hits or with scores on both ends of the field.
