Sporting Kansas City vs Real Salt Lake: Betting on a Goal Exchange and a Win for the Hosts

Within the next round of the MLS, there will be a match between Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake. Sporting acts as a favorite. It is worth noting that Real began the new season very dashing. The visiting team has not lost a single match so far being the leader of the Western Conference.

After four games in MLS-2022, Sporting has three points occupying 12th place in the Western Conference standings. The Wizards have only won one game out of four over the Houston Dynamo 1:0. They lost to Atlanta, Colorado Rapids, and Chicago Fire. The hosts did not score only against Colorado in the away game, and the upcoming match will be only the second home game. By the way, in friendlies, Sporting played four games, scored in three, but did not win a single one ending up with three draws and one defeat from Phoenix.

Real started the season with a nil-nil draw against the Houston Dynamo. Then. the club gained three victories over Seattle Sounders, New England Revolution and Nashville. Ten points after four games played put Real Salt Lake in the leaders' group - the second place in the Western Conference, behind Los Angeles only on goal difference. On the road, Real has the best statistics, four points after two games played. Minnesota and Nashville have the same number, but their opponents have the worst goal difference.

The statistics of Sporting are eloquent: victory at home, three away defeats. Real Salt Lake is off to a strong start in the new league, has never lost and has the best away statistics in the conference. Of the last five matches the teams exchanged goals in four. We believe in the same scenario now.

In three of the last four clubs' matches, the bets "both to score" and "TO" worked out. We will not be surprised if this trend continues

So, our teams should exchange goals and at the same time score at least three goals each. Bookmakers consider the home team to be the favorite, Sporting after a bad start really needs a victory more than Real, who may well be satisfied with an away draw, as happened in Houston.
