Real Salt Lake did a really good job in their last match when they hosted Toronto and have now won two in a row. They will now remain at home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Atlanta United on Friday. Atlanta United saw their winning streak come to an end against the Red Bulls in their last match.

Real Salt Lake (5-6-1) played a pretty balanced match at home against Toronto FC in their last match but still managed to win by a solid 0-3. That was their fourth win in their last six, keeping just two clean sheets in the process. Real Salt Lake are now sitting at the 7th spot of the Western Conference with 16 points, two behind Dallas and Minnesota. RSL have been exchanging wins with losses at home so far (3-2-0). Atlanta United (6-4-2) met a really frustrating 0-1 loss on the road against the Red Bulls, in a match where they were much better overall. That loss came to put an end to their five-match winning streak where they had also kept five clean sheets. Atlanta United are now sitting at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 20 points, one behind Montreal. They have not been anything special on the road (3-3-0), with five of those matches featuring Under 2.5 Goals.

Atlanta United have won both previous matches against Real Salt Lake, by 0-2 at home and by 3-1 in this venue in 2017. Atlanta United have been a really solid unit this season, especially in the defensive end. I will take my chances with the Under 2.75 Goals on this one.
