Season ticket holders at Rio Tinto Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Real Salt Lake languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting LA Galaxy will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for LA Galaxy when visiting Salt as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.
