Real Salt Lake host Monterrey at the America First Field on Wednesday (July 26) in the 2023 Leagues Cup.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of results in the Major League Soccer. They have carried that momentum into the Leagues Cup, where they beat Seattle Sounders 3-0 in their opener on Sunday.
Jefferson Savarino and Cristian Arango scored a quickfire double early in the second half to give Pablo Mastroeni's men the lead before Rubio Rubin came off the bench to seal the win. RSL are atop their group with three points and will guarantee a spot in the knockouts with a win.
Monterrey, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong start to the new Liga MX Apertura campaign. They beat ten-man Mazatlan 3-0 in their last game, with Joao Rojas netting a brace before German Berterame sealed the points late on.
RSL are on a run of back-to-back wins and are unbeaten in 11 games across competitions. They have won their last three home games.
Monterrey, meanwhile, have also won their last two games and are unbeaten in their last four. They have, however, won just one of their last four competitive away games and could lose this one.
Prediction: Salt Lake 2-1 Monterrey
Tip 1 - Result: RSL
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Over 2.5 goals (Seven of Salt Lake's last eight games have produced more than 2.5 goals.)
Tip 3 - Both teams to score: Yes (Both teams have scored in five of Salt Lake's last eight games.)
