The action continues in MLS as Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas go head-to-head at America First Field on Wednesday. Peter Luccin’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last four games against the hosts and will be looking to move within two points of the final play-in spot.
Real Salt Lake were sent back down to earth in MLS as they fell to a 4-1 defeat against Houston Dynamo at the Shell Energy Stadium last weekend.
This followed a 2-0 victory over New England Revolution at the Toyota Stadium on September 1 which saw their four-game winless run in the league end.
With 47 points from 28 matches, Real Salt Lake are currently fourth in the Western Conference table, level on points with third-placed Colorado Rapids.
Meanwhile, Dallas continue to struggle for results at the business end of the regular season as they played out a goalless draw with Vancouver Whitecaps last time out.
Luccin’s men have now failed to win five of their last six matches across all competitions, claiming two draws and losing three, including back-to-back defeats against St. Louis City and Juarez FC in the Leagues Cup back in August.
With 34 points from 28 matches, Dallas are currently 10th in the Western Conference table, five points behind ninth-placed Minnesota United in the coveted play-in qualifying places.
