Real Salt Lake vs FC Dallas: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Real Salt Lake host FC Dallas at America First Field on Wednesday, August 19 (9:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM CT / 6:30 PM PT).

Real Salt Lake have a clean bill of health for this one, meaning Sergi Solans and Diego Luna should anchor the attack after contributing seven and four goals respectively this season. FC Dallas also have no fresh absences to manage, so Petar Musa (13 goals) and Logan Farrington (6 goals) look set to lead the away line.

Both sides sit on 27 points in the Western Conference and remain firmly inside the playoff picture, so this one shapes as tight rather than open. Real Salt Lake’s home edge and Solans’ movement should be enough to nose it, but Musa’s scoring record means Dallas are unlikely to leave without a goal of their own.
