Things were intense at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero in Heredia last week, but the game ended without goals. Real Salt Lake has the home-court edge but, overall, it isn’t in good shape. This is a chance for the Costa Rican guests to pull out a sensation.

Game Preview

Real Salt Lake brought a tie from Costa Rica. But that achievement took too much energy from them, because they lost the MSL season opener to San Jose on the road 4-0. It’s a tough slap in the face early into the campaign.

Only one win in the previous eight meetings, including the preseason, tells us the RSL isn’t in great shape. Though, they lost many players during the offseason, primarily striker Cristian Arango, who left for San Jose. So this is reasonable.

On the other hand, Herediano’s results are somewhat better than Real Salt Lake’s. The Costa Ricans have not lost a match for the past 11 straight, with seven wins and four ties during that stretch.

When looking only at the road games, things are much worse. Two wins in 10 outings, three losses, and five ties support that claim.

Real Salt Lake vs. Herediano Head to Head

RSL and Herediano played three games in history, and we saw one goal combined. It was 13 years ago when Herediano won 1-0 at home. After that, both events finished without goals.

Real Salt Lake vs. Herediano Predictions

Even though hosts struggle, our betting tip here is to pick RSL to win. It would be a massive sensation to see anything else than that.
