Club America vs Real Salt Lake Prediction and Betting Tips

Club America and Real Salt Lake kickstart their 2025 edition of the Leagues Cup when they lock horns at the America First Field on Wednesday. The Mexican Liga MX powerhouse have failed to taste victory in 10 consecutive away matches since the start of April and will need to show their mettle in Utah.

Club America were left disappointed yet again as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Club Necaxa in their Liga MX clash at the Estadio Victoria Aguascalientes last Sunday.

Prior to that, Andre Jardine’s men picked up one win and one draw from their opening two league games before suffering a 3-1 loss at the hands of Toluca in the 2025 Campeón de Campeones on July 21.

Club America now kick off their Leagues Cup quest with the aim of improving on their performances from last season, where they reached the quarter-finals before losing on penalties to Colorado Rapids.

On the other hand, Real Salt Lake returned to winning ways at the weekend when they fought back from behind to snatch a 2-1 victory over 10-man San Jose Earthquakes on home turf.

This followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of FC Cincinnati on July 20, a result which saw Pablo Mastroeni’s side’s run of five back-to-back matches without defeat (4W, 1D) come to an end.

Real Salt Lake, who are currently eighth in the MLS Western Conference table, endured a forgettable Leagues Cup campaign last term as they crashed out in the group stages after picking up three points from their two matches in Group H.
