Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake predicted formations

Philadelphia Union host Real Salt Lake at Subaru Park on Saturday, October 10 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

No fresh fitness concerns have emerged for either side, so expect Philadelphia’s front line to again be built around Milan Iloski, whose 16 goals from 102 shots make him the league’s most prolific finisher on this team sheet, with Bruno Damiani Píriz offering a credible second option on eight goals and Cavan Ayaz Sullivan pushing up from midfield after a return of seven goals and 34 chances created. Real Salt Lake’s picture is just as settled up top, with Sergi Solans Ormo the spearhead on 11 goals and Diego Ángel Luna the creative hub behind him, setting up 43 chances despite playing fewer minutes than almost anyone else in this preview.

Philadelphia arrive sixth in the East on 39 points, firmly in the playoff picture, and their form reads five straight wins including a 5-0 rout of FC Cincinnati and a 4-2 win over Orlando City. Real Salt Lake sit 11th in the West on 32 points, and their form tells a messier story: four defeats on the spin before a 3-0 home win over New England Revolution last time out. That inconsistency, set against the Union’s +10 goal difference versus RSL’s -4, points to a game Philadelphia should control without it turning into a rout.

    Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake Prediction

    Philadelphia Union are sixth in the East on 39 points and in form, Real Salt Lake are 11th in the West on 32 points and still finding consistency, and that gap should tell at Subaru Park. Expect Milan Iloski to find the net again as the Union’s attack does enough, with Sergi Solans Ormo keeping Real Salt Lake in the game before Philadelphia see it out. Our call is Philadelphia Union 2-1 Real Salt Lake.
