The next three players are considered key to the LA Galaxy's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the game against Charlotte FC. The Mexican player Javier Hernández (#14) or better known as “El Chicharito” is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He scored two goals in the last match against Charlotte FC, in 33 games played he had 17 goals and three assists, this made him the top scorer and fifth top assister for the team last season. Midfielder Ricard Puig (#6) is another very important on-court play dealer, he is the team's second highest assister last season, generating 5 assists in 8 starts and 1 coming off the bench. Lastly, 22-year-old striker Dejan Joveljic (#99) was the team's second highest scorer with 10 goals in 31 games coming off the bench. Dejan at his young age has achieved a lot in the team, he is a very important substitute who seeks to be a starter in the team and it is very likely that we will see him scoring in the game.
The Los Angeles team began the tournament with the 32-team elimination round and is one of the favorites to lift the trophy. In the competition they have eliminated two high-level teams that are the Seattle Sounders FC and the LAFC of “Carlos Vela”. Their last game was on May 23, 2023, and resulted in a 2-0 win against LAFC at BMO Stadium, earning their ticket to the quarterfinals in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
The three players are considered key to Real Salt Lake's offensive attack and will be of the utmost importance if they are to win. The first is forward Jefferson Savarino (#10), who is the team's top scorer with 3 goals so far in the MLS tournament, he scored in the last game against San Jose Earthquakes and he doesn't plan to stop. Another player is Andres Gomez (#11), he plays the midfielder position, has 3 assists in 10 games played and is a key man in case the game closes a lot. Last game against the San Jose Earthquakes he assisted a goal and is a fundamental piece in generating dangerous plays for Real Salt Lake. Finally, Justen Glad (#15) with 2 goals is the second highest scorer and is expected to appear a lot in the match.
The Real Salt Lake have come very far in the tournament, since the third round they have opened up a place in the quarterfinals after beating teams like Las Vegas Lights FC, Portland Timbers and Colorado Rapids. Their last game was on May 24, 2023 at the U.S. Open Cup, they won 1-0 against Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park and thus get their ticket to the quarterfinals of the tournament. They arrive as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good moment they are going through. They have an advantage in Saturday's game by playing at home and having their fans support them.
