Real Salt Lake host New England in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts are bottom of the table and are looking for a way out of their worst spell of the season, while the visitors are in the upper group and want another win to keep their rhythm going. The hosts have lost 4 in a row, and in their last five games they have failed to score in almost every one. An attack that once offered some hope has gone completely flat, while New England have won 3 in a row, their attack is still firing consistently and they tend to find goals late in games. If New England score first, they should control the game even more in their usual way and force the hosts to open up and fight despite their lack of confidence up front. But if Real Salt Lake take the lead first, the game becomes a completely different story, because the visitors would have to push forward and trade blows, which is a situation the hosts are better suited to.
