Real Salt Lake team news and form: Pablo Mastroeni to make changes
Sure, Real Salt Lake City’s players outplayed Minnesota United at Allianz Field, but the result on the scoreboard after 90 minutes of play was 2-0 in favor of the home side. We believe coach Mastroeni will opt to give some of his backups a chance among the starters.
Predicted lineup: Cabral (GK), Junqua, Vera, Glad, Quinton, Ojeda, Eneli, Luna, Marczuk, Goncalves & Ajago

LA Galaxy team news and form: Winless champions
After six matches played, LA Galaxy haven’t won a single match. Coach Vanney does have the right players to get results, but with injured Riqui Puig, maybe LA Galaxy’s chances of scooping the three points aren’t that convincing.
Predicted lineup: McCarthy (GK), Yamane, Jorgensen, Yoshida, Aude, Lepley, Cerrillo, Reus, Pec, Ramirez & Fagundez

Player to watch: Marco Reus
Former Borussia Dortmund superstar Marco Reus is the player to watch in our professional Real Salt Lake vs LA Galaxy prediction, as he was one of the culprits to blame behind the 2024 MLS success. Sure, he is slacking with his attacking returns during 2025, but we are sure he has what it takes to kick things up a notch.
Second player to watch: Miki Yamane
Miki Yamane is the leading creator for the visitors. The promising right-back provided two assists for his colleagues, and he will surely get minutes against Real Salt Lake City this week.
