We’re halfway there.
On Saturday, the Quakes will take on Western Conference rival Real Salt Lake in what will mark the midway point of the 2017 season. As the club looks for three points that will keep them in playoff contention, we break down what to keep an eye on during the Quakes' 17th match of the season:
Seeking an Edge
Saturday’s contest will be the 28th time the Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake have faced each other in MLS play since the latter joined the league in 2005. Heading into this match, the two sides are 9-9-9 in that time span, and if that wasn’t enough indication of the parity between them, eight of their past nine matchups have been decided by a single goal or ended in a draw.
