Charlotte vs Real Salt Lake Prediction and Match Preview

Charlotte vs Real Salt Lake Preview

Charlotte extended their MLS winning streak to five games after defeating Cincinnati 1-0 last weekend. Their impressive run of form has lifted them to tenth in the league standings. Defensively, they have been outstanding, keeping clean sheets in three of their last five matches.

At home, Charlotte have been a formidable force, winning nine of their last twelve MLS fixtures, drawing one, and losing just two. They will be aiming to maintain this strong record as they push to extend their winning streak to six matches.

Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, head into this clash following a 2-1 defeat to New York Red Bulls in their most recent MLS outing. Their cause wasn’t helped by Diego Luna’s late dismissal after receiving a second yellow card in the 85th minute, which means they will be without the attacking midfielder for this encounter.

On the road, Real Salt Lake’s performances have been mixed, with only two wins in their last nine away matches across all competitions (2W, 3D, 4L). They will be desperate to improve those numbers, starting from this game.

Who Will Win The Match Between Charlotte and Real Salt Lake?

We expect Charlotte to secure the win because they are unbeaten in their last five MLS matches (4W, 1D), while Real Salt Lake have recorded just one victory in their last eight away league games (1W, 3D, 4L), struggling to produce consistent performances against competitive opposition, particularly when playing away from home.

Which Players Could Score?

Wilfried Zaha is our pick to find the net anytime. The Ivorian forward has been in excellent form, contributing to four goals in his last three MLS appearances (2G, 2A), and we expect him to play a key role in the outcome of this fixture, using his pace and creativity to trouble the opposing defensive line.

Charlotte vs Real Salt Lake Prediction

Charlotte enter this game in high spirits after extending their MLS winning streak to five with a 1-0 victory over Cincinnati, moving up to tenth in the table. They have been rock-solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last five matches, and remain a strong home side with nine wins in their last twelve league games.

Real Salt Lake arrive after a 2-1 loss to New York Red Bulls, compounded by the suspension of Diego Luna. Their away form has been shaky, with just two wins from nine recent trips, making Charlotte the favourites here. Wilfried Zaha, who has four goal involvements in his last three MLS matches, is tipped to be influential once again.
