Both teams are below the playoff line, but Real Salt Lake expecting the usual, high intensity battle when it hosts Sporting Kansas City

Herriman • Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City know each other very well. The two teams teams faced off four times last season, the last two being the two legs of the Western Conference semifinals of the MLS Cup playoffs.

SKC eliminated RSL in that playoff round last year. And who can forget the 2013 MLS Cup final where the two teams made it all the way to penalty kicks only for Salt Lake to fall?

Over the years, the rivalry between Sporting and Real has been exciting, memorable and, at time, contentious.
