Real Salt Lake vs St. Louis City Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.65 expected goals for Real Salt Lake and 1.20 for St. Louis City, a combined total of 2.85.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Real Salt Lake win, at 47.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 57% and over 2.5 goals at 54%.
A 48% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
