Sporting Kansas City vs Real Salt Lake Predictions

Sporting KC sit four places and six points behind their guests this weekend, Real Salt Lake, but head into the match as the form favourites. Both teams picked up excellent wins last time out and will be full of confidence heading into Sunday’s head to head.

The stats favour a home win on Sunday and suggest that Sporting KC are in with a good chance of keeping another clean sheet. Sporting KC haven’t lost any of their last three home games against Real Salt Lake, claiming a 4-2 win the last time the pair clashed at Children’s Mercy Park in November.

The form of both teams also points towards a victory for the hosts this weekend as Sporting KC have won three of their last five matches, while their guests haven’t managed to win any of their last five away games. Real Salt Lake managed draws at Dallas and Chicago Fire but lost to Montreal Impact, New York RB, and SJ Earthquakes in their last five matches on the road.

A clean sheet could well be on the cards for the hosts as Real Salt Lake have failed to score in their last two away games and two of Sporting KC’s last three wins have been accompanied by clean sheets. Sporting defeated Vancouver Whitecaps and Chicago Fire without conceding a goal last month, while two of Real Salt Lakes’ last three matches have seen them fail to score.

We’re confident that Sporting KC will win on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts have a good home record against their guests and claim the title of form favourites heading into Sunday’s clash. Real Salt Lake’s struggles on the road look set to continue this weekend as Sporting KC attempts to close the points gap between the two clubs.
