If you were one of the many fans thinking that Real Salt Lake tends to play worse if the game is on Sunday, you are not alone! What about mid-week games? They’re a bit harder to judge.
Of the 57 games RSL has played on a Sunday, only 17 were wins (30%), 11 were draws (19%) and the remaining 29 were losses (51%). The goal differential for all Sunday games isn’t even close: 63 for, 90 against.
So what about the games during midweek? I looked at those too, but as MLS scheduling is all over the table, ‘midweek’ can count as anything from Monday to Thursday.
