Union Set to Restrict Goals at Home

Philadelphia Union hold sixth place after five straight league wins while Real Salt Lake sit eleventh following four defeats in five. The hosts average 1.8 goals scored and 1.0 conceded in home matches this season. Real Salt Lake manage just 1.0 goal scored per away game and concede 1.8 on the road. Earlier meetings between these sides produced three or more goals in seven of nine encounters yet rarely reached extreme totals. Philadelphia’s strong home defense should limit the visitors’ opportunities despite the hosts’ recent four goals per game average. Real Salt Lake’s poor recent form makes a high scoring output unlikely here. The key matchup will be whether Philadelphia can break down a defense that has kept only three clean sheets all season.
