This match has been played — the final score is still to come.

What to expect

We expect about 1.5 goals from Real Salt Lake and 1.1 from Minnesota United, so Real Salt Lake come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Minnesota United come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.5-1.1), and we make both teams to score about 56%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.59, which works out at about 63 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Real Salt Lake have won one of their last five.
Minnesota United have not won any of their last five.
Four of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
Both teams scored in three of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

If one attack goes missing for the night, both teams scoring falls flat. The price is shorter than our own read of about 56%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
