With the win over Seattle Sounders on Saturday, Real Salt Lake temporarily jumped into 5th place in the Western Conference with 36 points, we dropped back to 6th after Portland also won their match. We’re currently on track for the MLS Playoffs, but certainly not out of danger.
Based on current home and away points per game, we would end up tied with Minnesota United on 49 points; that could put us either 6th or 7th place depending on tiebreakers (currently we would be 6th).
So let’s take a look at this week’s games and see what would be the best results for RSL.
