You have to be aware of three players. The first is striker Sergio Córdova (#10), who is the team's top scorer with 4 goals so far in the tournament, he scored in the penultimate game and doesn't plan on stopping. Another player is Justin Meram (#9), he plays the forward position, has 3 goals and 5 assists in 21 games played and is a key man in case the game gets too close. Last game he assisted a goal and is a fundamental piece to generate dangerous plays for Salt Lake. Finally, Jefferson Savarino (#11) with 2 assists is recognized as the team's third-highest assister and is expected to feature heavily in the match. All three players are considered key to Real Salt Lake's offensive attack and will be of paramount importance if they are to win.
Real Salt Lake, after 9 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, have 34 points, which establishes them in the fifth position in the West. Their last game was against the SJ Earthquakes, where the match ended in a 2-2 draw at PayPal Park. Real Salt Lake's objective for this game is to be able to stay with the victory and in this way get closer to the fourth place in the west that is FC Dallas, it will be a complicated game but not impossible to win. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
The next three players are considered key to LAFC's offensive attack and any one of them is likely to score in the game against Nashville. Mexican player Carlos Vela (#10) is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He is the leader of the team, in 19 games played he has achieved 6 goals and 7 assists, this makes him the second highest scorer and the highest assister of the team. Forward Cristian Arango (#9) is another game distributor on the pitch that is of the utmost importance, he is the team's top scorer, he has generated 8 goals and 1 assist. Finally, the 23-year-old midfielder José Cifuentes (#11) who is the team's third highest scorer with 6 goals in 20 games played and the second highest assister with 4 assists. He will add a lot to LAFC's attack from set pieces and he's also a great defender.
The Los Angeles team is at the top of the tournament, after 15 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, they have 48 points in the general table that puts them in first position in the Western Conference. They've had an amazing start to the season, hopefully they can keep up the same pace throughout the tournament and advance to the postseason. The novelty of the team is the arrival of Welsh striker Gareth Bale to the team, on Saturday, June 25, his arrival to the team was announced and his experience could favor the LAFC forward. Their last game resulted in a 2-1 victory against the Seattle Sounders at the Banc of California Stadium and thus they maintained their first place in the general table. They arrive as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good time they are going through.
