Sporting Kansas City will play against Real Salt Lake this weekend at America First Field. The match is scheduled to start at 8:30 CT and will be available on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV. Both teams are competing for a spot in the playoffs, making the upcoming game significant for their postseason hopes.
Real Salt Lake currently holds the eleventh position in the Western Conference standings. The team aims to take advantage of playing at home to improve its ranking. Diego Luna returns to Real Salt Lake and is considered a key player due to his speed and skill. Additionally, defender DeAndre Yedlin, who recently joined from FC Cincinnati and has experience with the United States national team, is expected to strengthen the team's defense.
Sporting Kansas City sits in thirteenth place and also needs a win. Erik Thommy has returned from an injury that kept him off the field for several weeks. As captain, he brings valuable experience and could play a decisive role for Kansas City. Forward Dejan Joveljić, with 17 goals this season, is seen as an important offensive asset.
Both teams are looking to secure points necessary for playoff contention, setting expectations for a competitive match.
