Only a few games have been played in the Major League Soccer so far, with SJ Earthquakes placed 21st and Real Salt Lake sitting in the 15th position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Real Salt Lake have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
