Everything you need to know for RSL-Säder

Since the Seattle Sunders entered MLS for the first time, they have been among the best street teams in the league. For some reason, this has not translated to play on Real Salt Lake. The SUNDERS are currently in Sandy, Utah, a victory run of 14 games in the regular season and carry a 1-12-4 street record into today’s game. During this winless run, the Sounders were exceeded 23: 5.

What makes this recording particularly shabby is that the sounds are 10-5-2 against RSL during the same route at home.

You need to know the following to be ready for the match:

Injury messages

RSL

Out: Matthew Bell – armpits; Zac MacMath – shoulder

Questionable: Alex Katranis – Arm; Ariath Piol – Thigh

Souners

Out: Reed Baker -Whiting – Knieshne

To see opposition players

  • Diego Luna: Almost all the best that RSL runs through Luna at this time. Although he is usually used as a nominal left -wing player, he will probably get most touches and hover in a bin. Last year he was appointed MLS Young Player of the Year after publishing eight goals and 12 templates.
  • Dominic Marczuk: The former Poland Youth International was the big acquisition of RSL last summer and didn’t quite hit, but is probably a player you have to produce.
  • Forster Ajago: The Ghanische striker packed the starting point no. 9 by default. He consistently brought himself into good areas in the team’s first three games, but has only one goal.

Statistics to look smart

  • On July 7, 2024, RSL sat on the Western Conference with 43 points and had scored 48 goals in 22 games. Since then, RSL has gone 5-7-7 with 20 goals in all competitions, including a 0-2: 1 record this year.
  • It is obviously pretty early, but the SUNDER scored eight goals this year in three competition games. A year ago, she only scored her eighth goal in the sixth game of the year.

To impress tactics

  • Although the SUNDER listed their lineups in different ways, they were actually quite consistent in how to use their attack. Three centerbacks usually sit while the Wingbacks press forward. A fold was that Alex Roldan slipped onto the defensive midfield, which enables OBED Vargas to turn more into attack.
  • Although you may not have the finisher you once had, Pablo Mastroenis squad is still quite attacked. As bad as the goal line saw in its regular season, RSL was much more dangerous than the 4-0 goal line suggested. They pressed 22 shots and had an XG of 1.77.
