Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas will go head-to-head in a Western Conference clash at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night. Real Salt Lake finished the 2024 season in third place in the Western Conference, securing a playoff spot with 59 points. However, their postseason journey was cut short after falling to Minnesota United FC in the first round. Despite their solid performance, RSL struggled with defensive inconsistency, conceding 48 goals, which was among the highest of any playoff team. To improve their standing this year, head coach Pablo Mastroeni has focused on tightening the backline while continuing to build the attack team.
On the other side, FC Dallas had a disappointing 2024 season, finishing in eleventh place with 41 points, just missing out on the playoffs. Their main struggles came on the road, where they managed just four wins in 17 away games. Despite boasting a talented squad, Dallas was unable to maintain consistency. However, after an active offseason that saw them strengthen their midfield and defense, they enter 2025 with renewed confidence.

Our Real Salt Lake vs FC Dallas Prediction
Real Salt Lake enters this game as slight favorites, given their strong home form and attacking depth. If RSL can control possession and capitalize on Dallas' defensive lapses, they should be able to create key scoring opportunities. For FC Dallas, the challenge will be breaking down Real Salt Lake’s defense while maintaining compactness at the back. Dallas has attacking weapons, but their road struggles and inconsistent defense could prove costly. Given RSL’s home dominance and Dallas’ vulnerability on the road, the hosts have the edge. Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs FC Dallas: Real Salt Lake to secure a narrow home win.
