Both teams will be short-handed when Real Salt Lake visit the Seattle Sounders on Saturday night with an eye toward joining the hosts in the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs.
Real Salt Lake can move into a playoff position with a home victory over the struggling San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday in Sandy, Utah. San Jose (7-9-8, 29 points) is just a point ahead of Salt Lake (8-11-4, 28 points), as the two clubs have been moving in opposite directions.
Real Salt Lake will try to end their seven-match winless streak when they host D.C. United on Saturday in Sandy, Utah. Salt Lake (4-10-3, 15 points) is 0-4-3 with just five goals scored over its last seven matches and stands as one of the lowest-scoring clubs in MLS with only 16 goals in 17 regular-season matches.
Real Salt Lake are sputtering down the stretch and look to get back on track when they face FC Dallas on Wednesday night in Sandy, Utah. Real Salt Lake (13-7-8, 47 points) are just 1-4-1 over their past six matches but are still tied with the Colorado Rapids for the third-most points in the Western Conference.
