Player to watch: Cristian Arango
During the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, Arango found the net on 17 occasions. Seeing as he is fit and ready for action, we believe he will help make our Colorado Rapids vs Real Salt Lake City predictions a success.
Second player to watch: Diego Luna
Luna is the architect behind Real Salt Lake City’s success recently. He supplied teammates with eight assists, which is why coach Mastroeni is picking him as a firm starter.
