Real Salt Lake team news and form: Andres Gomez on fire
Despite losing 3-2 to Chris Armas’ Colorado Rapids, there is a positive for coach Pablo Mastroeni. It’s the fact that Gomez was one of the top players on the pitch at DSG Park. He scored a brace for his team and could’ve easily turned that into a hattrick had he been a tad more precise with his finishing.
Predicted lineup: Steffen (GK), Rosenberry, Bombito, Maxso, Vines, Ronan, Larraz, Bassett, Lewis, Mosso & Navarro

Player to watch: Cristian Arango
Arango is a player every Major League Soccer defender fears. Since the start of the 2024 MLS campaign, the Colombian striker has found the net on 17 occasions. He is outscoring all-time greats like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Surely, he has the quality to prove our Real Salt Lake City vs Atlas prediction a success.
Second player to watch: Braian Ojeda
With one red card since the start of the MLS chase, Ojeda is proving to be one of the meanest players in the US domestic league. We hope he can control his temper in the match against Atlas.
