Match Preview
Real Salt Lake will host the San Jose Earthquakes at America First Field on Sunday, 27 July, with both teams looking to improve their fortunes in Major League Soccer. Real Salt Lake has shown some inconsistency lately, managing two wins and three losses in their last five matches. Conversely, San Jose has struggled even more, with only one win in their last five outings. Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with Real Salt Lake winning five of the last ten encounters, and both teams scoring in six of those matches.
A key angle to consider is the scoring potential in this matchup. With seven of the last ten head-to-head meetings featuring over 2.5 goals, and both teams having a tendency to concede, the odds of 1.4 for over 2.5 goals and 1.4 for both teams to score (BTTS) appear appealing. Given the attacking capabilities of both sides, fans can expect an open game, making the over 2.5 goals market a strong consideration for this fixture.
