Game Preview

There will be huge pressure on Real Salt Lake this weekend, as they will need a positive result to secure their spot in the wild-card round of the playoffs. They come into the final day sitting ninth, but they are only ahead of the Colorado Rapids courtesy of the number of wins that they have recorded.

Real Salt Lake have recorded wins in two of their last three matches, but they were disappointingly beaten in their latest outing after losing 1-0 on the road against the Seattle Sounders. Their away record would be a concern this weekend, as they have won just three of their 16 matches on the road.

St. Louis have been out of the playoff race for a couple of weeks, but they have made a positive impact in the MLS this season. They have registered eight wins in their 33 matches, and they have been a constant attacking force after netting a respectable 42 goals.

St. Louis maintained their reliable end to the campaign last time out after registering a 3-1 success on the road against Austin FC. Marcel Hartel was the star of the show in that clash after netting twice in the opening 45 minutes.
