Philadelphia Union at Real Salt Lake 7/13/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Real Salt Lake were really close to extending their undefeated streak but failed to do so against San Jose. They will now return home for their next assignment, where they will host Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia Union. Philadelphia are having their best season in quite a while but have not had it easy lately.

Real Salt Lake (8-9-2) were holding off for a draw in their away match against San Jose but conceded a late goal to lose by 0-1. Prior to that they had grabbed seven points in three matches. They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Western Conference with 26 points, one behind Houston and the playoff spots. Real Salt Lake have been really hard to beat at home (6-2-0), keeping four clean sheets. Philadelphia Union (10-5-6) might be feeling frustrated about the 2-2 draw at home against Orlando City. They might have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions (1-1-3) but they have lost just this once over the past one month and a half (3-1-4). Philadelphia are still at the top of the East with 36 points, five ahead of DC United. They also have the best away record in the Conference (4-3-3), only failing to score once.
