Real Salt Lake 6/5 to beat Seattle Sounders in Sundays MLS matchup

Posted June 2nd, 2018 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: MLS

Market: Real Salt Lake win

Odds: 6/5 @ Bet365

Looking to improve on their poor start to the season, on Sunday Seattle Sounders will travel to Rio Tinto Stadium to face off against Real Salt Lake.

For the hosts on Sunday, although Real Salt Lake were only able to secure an eighth-place finish, The Claret and Cobalt have enjoyed a more successful start to the campaign this time around. After 13 matches in the Western Conference, Real Salt Lake have won six, drew one and lost six, scoring 17 and conceding 26 in return, although they may now sit fifth in the table, the hosts do hold the worst defensive record in the Western Conference. With a points tally of 19, Salt Lake are now six points adrift of division leaders Sporting Kansas City but a win for the hosts on Sunday could see them jump up to third briefly. As for their recent form, Salt Lake have now won three of their last four and have also won their last five matches in a row at the Rio Tinto Stadium.

As for the visitors, while only their record against the Portland Timbers saw them fail to clinch top spot in the Western Conference last year, Seattle have drastically struggled in the new campaign. After 10 games, Seattle have recorded just two wins, two draws and six defeats, scoring seven and conceding 12 in return, no team in the whole of the MLS holds a worse attacking record than The Sounders. With a points tally of 88, the visitors currenly sit 11th in the table and with only their goal difference keeping them off bottom spot. As for their recent form, Seattle have now picked up just one win in their last five, losing three and drawing one. Even more worrying for the visitors is the face that they have now only managed to record one goal in any of their last five outings.
