Thu 18th Sep, 02:30 BST, Rio Tinto Stadium, Sandy

The Major League Soccer is the focus for both Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles FC on Thursday morning, as managers Pablo Andrés Mastroeni and Steven Cherundolo face one another at the Rio Tinto Stadium. Below we've got predictions for seventeen major betting markets, supporting statistics including head to heads (H2Hs), and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers. Access it all using the tabs below.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think Salt Lake and LAFC will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Pablo Andrés Mastroeni or Steven Cherundolo has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.20 equating to approximately a 80% probability.
