MLS » While RSL has demonstrated newfound offensive explosiveness, Colorado has shown off a stingy defense.
Teams that finish in the bottom two of their conference are in obvious need of retooling.
What will be apparent when Real Salt Lake (2-0-2) and the Colorado Rapids (2-1-1) clash Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium is not only that both teams have, in fact, rebounded early in this MLS season, but how radically different their approaches have been in pulling it off.
The Rapids are a defensive force, allowing an MLS-low two goals in four games this season after surrendering 43 as the Western Conference's cellar-dweller in 2015.
