Welcome to your match thread for today's match-up between Orlando City (2-2-2, 8 points) and Real Salt Lake (1-4-1, 4 points) at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, UT. It’s the only meeting of the season between these two teams from opposite conferences.
The Lions are coming off a win over the Colorado Rapids at home last weekend — the team’s first home victory of 2019. A win over RSL would give the Lions consecutive victories for the first time this season. Real Salt Lake has lost four consecutive games but three of those were on the roads against top competition and the Utah side has seen four players sent off in three of those matches.
