SJ Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake meet in MLS where both still have points to chase from the remaining matches of the season. The hosts sit in 5th place with 49 points, while the visitors are in 9th, 7 points apart, so this is a match where the visitors want to collect as many points as possible to keep the gap from widening further. SJ Earthquakes have gone five matches without a win, drawing four and losing one 0-3. Their attack still has something, but the defense concedes more easily than it should. Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake are in good form, on a winning run and beaten only once in their last five. Their attack scores consistently, and the defense is starting to settle. If Real Salt Lake keep playing the way they have in recent matches—not opening up too much and waiting for counter-attacking chances—SJ Earthquakes, who are looking to get back to winning, may find themselves having to push forward and risk being countered. The game is likely to shape up in a way where the visitors are not at a disadvantage and have a chance to take a good result back with them.
