Score Prediction
As I mentioned earlier in the article, the current positions of these two teams have been one of the biggest surprises in MLS this season. For years, both clubs were known for finishing near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
However, times change, and so do teams. Thanks to smart signings and the development of their young prospects, both clubs have achieved things that seemed unlikely just a few years ago.
Now, they're both sitting in playoff positions and going toe-to-toe with some of the best teams in the league.
Although this could be a tied game, RSL will strike due to their great momentum.
Score Prediction: St. Louis SC 1-2 Real Salt Lake.
