FRISCO, Texas – RSL hasn’t lost in its last ten MLS games and the club looks to keep that streak going against FC Dallas in Toyota Stadium on Saturday.
Real and Dallas last faced off on September 20 in Utah. Despite leading in almost every stat, RSL fell to Dallas, 3-1.
RSL In Good Run Of Form As Dallas Matchup Approaches
Real Salt Lake currently sits atop the Western Conference with a record of 8-2-4.
The same can’t be said for Dallas who sits outside of the playoff picture in 13th with a record of 3-6-3.
RSL will look to keep this season’s unbeaten run alive while breaking another streak. Real hasn’t prevailed over Dallas since October 2021, losing or drawing in the four matchups since then.

Both sides have the same record in their last five games with three wins, one draw, and one loss.
Two of Dallas’ three wins came in the U.S. Open Cup while all three of RSL’s wins came in MLS play.
Real has a chance to add some space between them and the rest of the West with a win over Dallas. They currently sit four points ahead of Minnesota in second.
The United FC will play Colorado on Saturday. If the Rapids and RSL can both come out with three points, Real will have at least a six-point cushion between them and the 2-seed.
Who’s going to end up at the top of the Western Conference? 👀

There are two players to keep an eye out for in Saturday’s match. Real Salt Lake’s Chicho Arango and Dallas’ Petar Musa.
Arango has emerged as an MVP candidate this season with 13 goals and eight assists through 14 games. Musa has caught his stride as of late, scoring four of his five goals this season in the past five games.
The match could come down to whichever club gets a better game from their top performer.
Four goals in his last five games.
