Western Conference opponent Real Salt Late travel to MAPFRE Stadium this weekend to take on Columbus Crew SC. After missing the playoffs in 2015, RSL is off to quite the start to this season. The Monarchs already have six wins through 11 matches this season, giving them 20 points. This mark puts them in third place in the West.
The Claret-and-Cobalt began the season on a hot streak, not losing in the first six matches of the year and capturing four wins in the process. Since that point, Salt Lake has lost three of its last five matches and failed to score a goal in 231 consecutive minutes.
