Real Salt Lake vs LAFC SC faced off in a friendly match back in January, that ended with a 2-0 win for Utah. This was the reigning MLS champions’ first defeat of 2023. However, this upcoming game is even more important as the teams compete for three points to help them climb up the standings.
Real Salt Lake has been on a good run lately, not losing in its last three matches. This is a positive development for the team, considering it had a rough start to the season. Meanwhile, LAFC SC just suffered its first loss last week, but it still has the fewest defeats in the Western Conference.

Going into this game unbeaten in its last three matches is positive for the squad’s confidence, especially considering it has kept a clean sheet in the last two matches it has played, both ending in a 0-0 draw against the Seattle Sounders and the Houston Dynamo. The team also has a positive record for its last three home matches, recording three wins and one draw.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Zac MacMath; Andrew Brody, Justen Glad, Brayan Vera, Bryan Oviedo; Maikel Chang, Scott Caldwell, Braian Ojeda, Jefferson Savarino; Rubio Rubin, Bertin Jacquesson
Betting on LAFC
The MLS champion suffered its first defeat of the season last weekend against San Jose Earthquakes, losing 2-1. Despite this, it remains being one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference with five wins, three draws, and only one loss in nine matches. In fact, this team has only lost two out of 16 matches in all competitions so far this year.
Its only away loss took place in one of the nine official matches the team had played on the road, a condition in which it has recorded four wins and four draws. However, LAFC has conceded goals in each of the last five away matches, indicating a clear trend in its performance when playing away from home.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Jesus Murillo, Aaron Long, Diego Palacios; Kellyn Acosta, Ilie Sanchez, Timothy Tillman; Mateusz Bogusz, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga
JefeBet Prediction
It is evident that Real Salt Lake has improved in recent times, and facing the champions after losing its undefeated record could be beneficial for the Utah side. However, expecting a home win may be risky. At JefeBet, we believe that the match could end in a draw where both teams score goals.
If you bet $100 on the tie line at DraftKings, you will win $235. So, keep on reading to find out more. What are you waiting for?
