How To Bet On Real Salt Lake

Founded in 2004, Real Salt Lake first competed in the MLS during the 2005 season. They finished fifth in the Western Conference that season before two consecutive sixth places. In 2008, Salt Lake finished third and qualified for the playoffs, managing to navigate their way to semi-finals. The following year, Salt Lake slipped to fifth place but still qualified for the playoffs. Salt Lake went all the way to win the 2009 MLS Cup, drawing 1-1 with LA Galaxy before winning 5-4 on penalties; Robbie Russell scored the decisive penalty.

Over the next five seasons, Salt Lake finished second three times and third once, before the wheels fell off and they slumped to ninth place (16th overall) in 2015. [+]

Last season, the “Claret and Cobalt” improved to finish in seventh place but they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, after penalties.

If Salt Lake can somehow find a formula to play on the road as they do at home, they could be a successful team. Pablo Mastroeni, the head coach, has created a team who are notoriously difficult to beat at home, but only 3 wins in 17 regular season games on the road in 2022 seriously held his side back.
