Real Salt Lake host LA Galaxy at America First Field on Saturday, November 7 (7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM PT).
Real Salt Lake will lean heavily on Sergi Solans Ormo, who leads the squad with 14 goals from 66 shots and 30 shots on target this season, while Diego Ángel Luna offers a secondary scoring outlet with 5 goals and 43 chances created from the attacking midfield. LA Galaxy’s likely frontline runs through João Klauss de Mello, who has 10 goals in limited minutes, with Marco Reus pulling strings behind him on 8 goals and a team-high 69 chances created.
Real Salt Lake arrive on a D W W W L run, their October 31 defeat at San Jose Earthquakes snapping a three-match winning streak, while LA Galaxy have alternated results through the back end of the season and arrive full of attacking intent after beating Austin FC 4-1 last time out. Both defences have shown cracks this season, and with Real Salt Lake’s attack purring at home and the Galaxy never shy going forward, this looks a game with goals in it at both ends.
