Real Salt Lake vs Colorado Rapids Prediction & Betting Tips | 19/05/2024 | Football

Our prediction for this MLS match:

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake

Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids

Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders, Real Salt Lake will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Colorado Rapids on Sunday morning. The Royals have been scoring goals for fun in MLS of late and, as a result, they are seen as favourites to win this match. The likes of Bode Hidalgo, Zavier Gozo, Marcelo Silva, Erik Holt, Kevin Bonilla, and Pablo Ruiz miss out with injuries for the home side.

The Rapids, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in recent weeks, with the team beating both New York City and Vancouver Whitecaps, while losing to both Cincinnati and San Jose Earthquakes. Unlikely previous seasons, Colorado have been producing fine performances on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Both Stewart-Baynes and Daniel Chacon are injured for the away team.

Highlighted Team (Real Salt Lake):

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake joined Major League Soccer in 2005 as an expansion team of the league and four years later they won their first MLS Cup. The Royals faced star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game at Qwest Field in Seattle and Jason Kreis’ troops defeated David Beckham and Co. on penalties.

In 2013 Real Salt Lake made it to the MLS Cup final for the second time in the club’s history, but they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City on penalties this time out. The Royals participated in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2011 as well, but Monterrey of Mexico eventually won the title. Real Salt Lake footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white.

The likes of Clint Mathis, Jeff Cunningham and Eddie Pope are some of the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Jeff Cunningham scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in the league for the Royals.
