Real Salt Lake’s recent form has been great and they have been climbing up the table gently and are now in the 7th place with 45 points. They head into this game following 1-2 victory against Dallas FC and they will be hoping to win again.
Things have not been going quite well for San Jose Earthquakes this season; they are in the 10th place with 37 points after 32 matches, with only two games left playoff seems out of reach if they don’t win in all the matches left. Since 2-0 loss to Portland Timbers in their previous match, they will be looking to make amends here.
