Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Real Salt Lake the side to beat here at 42%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Real Salt Lake, and it backs that with a 1 unit stake. Real Salt Lake are favorites at 2.20 despite poor recent form. Both sides struggle for consistency so this match remains very hard to call.

Form and momentum

Sporting Kansas City come in poor, winning 25% of 8 on record. 1 of their 4 home games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

Real Salt Lake come in poor, winning 10% of 10 on record. 0 of their 4 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 34% for SKC, 25% for the draw and 42% for RSL once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.20, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • Real Salt Lake suffered four defeats in their last five matches showing terrible current form.
  • Sporting Kansas City did win two of their last five matches which gives them a fighting chance.
The bottom line

We back Real Salt Lake for 1 unit. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.
