Real Salt Lake, New York Red Bulls Preview
RSL hasn’t lost a Major League Soccer game in over a month. The club’s last loss in MLS play came against the LA Galaxy on May 31.
The undefeated streak allowed the club to jump all the way into the West’s four-seed.
The Red Bulls sit in the Eastern Conference’s 11-seed with a record of 6-8-8.
If Seattle and LAFC lose, Real Salt Lake could jump all the way into the second spot in the West.
Too ready for the weekend. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/3JaqiyQE9h

A win against New York would make RSL’s home record 4-4-4. With home struggles a big topic of discussion for the club this year, getting out of the negative could provide some momentum for the home side.
New York has the third-least goals scored in the MLS this season. However, they make up for it on defense with the third-least goals allowed.
Real Salt Lake and the Red Bulls haven’t faced off in MLS play in over three years. Their last match was a 1-1 draw on March 7, 2020.
