With Real Monarchs SLC’s playoff spot officially booked, the club looks toward the final weekend of the 2018 regular season looking to gain momentum ahead of its playoff venture. Last Wednesday the Monarchs broke a seven-match winless run by beating OKC Energy FC at Zions Bank Stadium for a much-needed victory. The Monarchs now carry an 18-12-3 record into Fresno looking to cap the regular season with three points.
The Monarchs and Fresno have faced each other on two occasions this season, both results falling in favor of the Utah side by 1-0 scorelines. Chukchansi Park in Fresno will be a new sight for the Monarchs having never played at the California venue before.
