Real Salt Lake Plays Sporting Kansas City After Shutout Victory

On Saturday, Sporting Kansas City hosts Real Salt Lake at Children's Mercy Park in a critical MLS Western Conference matchup.
Neither team occupies a playoff spot, making Saturday's match crucial; RSL's recent 2-0 win over DC United emphasizes their push for postseason relevance.
Sporting Kansas City have lost only one of their last four home games at Children's Mercy Park; Real Salt Lake averages 1.0 goal, 3.5 shots on goal, and 5.5 corner kicks per game this season.
A win would put RSL six points behind the ninth-place Colorado Rapids, with Johnny Russell's emotional return to Kansas City adding significance to the match.
Following this weekend's game, Real Salt Lake hosts St. Louis City on July 5 at America First Field, with strong home results vital for playoff hopes.
