On Thursday, September 19, in the 32nd round of the MLS regular season, Real Salt Lake will host FC Dallas. The match preview and betting tips have been prepared by the Dailysports analysis team.
Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake currently sits fourth in the Western Conference with 47 points from 28 matches, nearly securing a playoff spot. However, they cannot afford to relax, as the gap from eighth-placed Portland is only seven points. With six games remaining, this advantage could slip away, forcing them into an additional playoff round.
Real Salt Lake comes into the match against Dallas in poor form. In their previous game, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat against Houston Dynamo, though they had beaten New England 2-0 in the match prior. That victory, however, is their only win in the last six games, during which they’ve collected just four points.
Dallas
Dallas was initially considered an underdog but is now fighting desperately for a spot in the top nine and a chance at the playoffs. They currently sit in tenth place, five points behind the ninth spot. Moreover, 11th-placed Austin has the same number of points. To make the playoffs, Dallas will need to be near perfect in their remaining six matches.
Dallas heads to Real Salt Lake in good form, having lost only once in their last six matches—a 2-3 defeat to the Colorado Rapids. In the previous round, Dallas held Vancouver Whitecaps to a 0-0 draw away from home.
