Real Salt Lake (home)
- Real Salt Lake have lost four of their last five games.
- Real Salt Lake have slipped down to 22nd in MLS 2026 with 29 points from 25 games and while they have the pedigree to still hold a position in the MLS, the Claret-and-Cobalt are chasing stability, not the top of the table.
- Sergi Solans is the main man for RSL this season with nine goals in 23 games, but they have scored only three goals in their last five, Saba Lobjanidze has chipped in with two of them.
- Real Salt Lake's home record of 7-2-4 in 2026 has taken a downturn, failing to win each of the last three (D1, L2) - and those results were both at home (0-2 New York City FC, 0-3 Vancouver Whitecaps).
New England Revolution (away)
- New England Revolution have won four and lost only one of their last five.
- Carles Gil leads the MLS 2026 scoring charts for the Revs with 12 goals in 26 appearances, five of those have come in their last five, and that has contributed to three straight wins as the Revs have found their swagger in front of goal.
- They beat New York City FC 2-1, won 2-1 at Chicago Fire FC and took care of Orlando City 4-2, and Marko Mitrović has brought a bit of a different style to the side since taking over on November 7th, 2025.
Head-to-Head
- This will be a clash of styles and it should be a lively game.
- Real Salt Lake are a possession-based team and New England will get their game on the counterattack.
- Real Salt Lake beat New England 2-0 here in MLS 2024.
Key Players
- Sergi Solans is the main man for RSL this season with nine goals in 23 games.
- Saba Lobjanidze has chipped in with two of RSL's recent goals.
- Carles Gil leads the Revs with 12 goals in 26 appearances.
Betting Insights
- The odds have RSL 2.12 favorites at home, with New England Revolution 2.98 and the draw at 3.8, and it's hard to disagree with that reading of the game given the visitors have won three straight games.
- New England's away record is W5, D2, L6 from 13 games, an average of 1.46 goals per game and 19 on the road, while Real Salt Lake have hit 24 in 13 at home, so over 2.5 goals at 1.57 and BTTS Yes at 1.48 appeal here.
Prediction
The New England Revolution are in better form and have a better position in the league, but there is a case for RSL to make life tough for the Eastern Conference side here - after all, they beat New England 2-0 here in MLS 2024 - but the momentum is with the away side here so a wager on New England to nick it appeals in a close, high-tempo game.
