Real Salt Lake have amassed 34 points thanks to nine victories and seven draws. This has left them trailing conference leaders Cincinnati by four points.

The New York Red Bulls arrive for this match seeking to get back to winning ways. Troy Lesesne’s men lost for the eighth time in the league when they fell 2-1 to Cincinnati last time out. It was also the second time in the last three outings that they were on the receiving end.

They sit three points adrift of the wildcard round and eight from direct qualification to the first round.
