Player to watch: Cristian Arango
As mentioned earlier in our Real Salt Lake vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction, Arango is the top finisher for his team, with 17 goals to his name. If he continues performing at such a high level, he might actually have a shot at the Top Goalscorer Award at the end of the season.
Second player to watch: Carlos Andres Gomez
Whenever Arango doesn’t score – Gomez does. We are sure that both will get minutes against the Whitecaps on the 20th of October. It will be interesting to see if one of them will be able to find the net.
