RSL Playoff Watch after Wk 28/29
As MLS pauses (except for 8 teams) for the international break, most teams will take the opportunity to take a much needed rest or to work on some issues in their push for playoff berths.
Real Salt Lake is one of the latter (at least according to one source). After winning midweek vs LA Galaxy, we dropped all three in Texas vs newcomers Austin FC. However thanks to the LAG win, who also tied their weekend game we still come out in 5th thanks to goal differential.
So where do we stand? With only 6 games remaining our maximum point total would be 57, while our projected points based on home & away PPG is 47. That is tied for 6th with LAG, but again we currently hold the tiebreaker.
