You already know the Seattle Sounders road record in Sandy, Utah is abject. You know that they have not won there since 2012 and not in the regular season since 2011. You’re probably aware of who Real Salt Lake is — as the only team the Sounders have faced more than RSL is the Galaxy.
You may not know that Salt Lake is bad this year — legitimately. Yes, they sit above the soft orange line that is the playoff demarcation this season, but that’s because 64% of teams make the playoffs.
Pablo Mastroeni’s squad is just 2-2-0, -1 at home this year.
