Salt Lake lost a game that put an end to their wins streak and now they are ready to continue a new streak by adding this vital win against Columbus and get closer to LAFC in the standings.
Salt Lake is performing well in the offense however they have conceded almost the same amount of goals as scored. Considering, both teams’ defensive problems, we expect an open game with at least 2 goals in it.
Total games: 13
Salt Lake: 4
Columbus: 5
Draw: 4
After an average start to their new MLS season, Salt Lake failed to manage a single win in 6 games after the first 5 rounds in the league. while after that they got back their form and focus and in their last seven games they lost only 2 while winning the 5 remainings. They started a winning streak that lasted 3 games when Vancouver stopped the run. And now after their important win against San Jose in their last fixture, they will continue their recently started run to extend and add more wins to get closer to their direct rivals in the league, LAFC.
On the other hand, following their remarkable start to their season by being unbeaten in the first 4 games, they have lost their competitiveness as they faced 4 consecutive defeats in the league which put Columbus in their current position of 11th. In their last 5 games, they had the chance 2o record 2 draws, 2 losses, and a win; however, Columbus is eager to continue their latest unbeaten run of 2 games to grab as many points and hope to join the play-offs this season.
We expect both teams to press up the field and keep their attacks alive. Bet your money on both teams to score in this game with odds of 1.87 from Vbet.
We expect the American striker, Bobby Wood, to continue his progress and help his team to get this crucial win by scoring goals and adding numbers to his list.
Salt Lake will have 4 players sidelined against Columbus. Halsey and Farnsworth with ankle injuries, Menedez with a groin injury, and Kreilack with a back injury.
