The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Real Salt Lake are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 10th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Sporting KC have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
