A perfect record under new RSL head coach Mike Petke (2-0-0) is on the line as expansion side Atlanta United FC visits Rio Tinto Stadium for the first time in their history this weekend.
Where they stand
Real Salt Lake (2-3-2, 8 points) — who were in dead last place just two weeks ago — now sit in sixth place in the West, just five points out of first. If nothing else, this is a true testament to how quickly things can change this early in the season. With two wins in as many games during the Petke era so far, RSL are looking to keep their newfound form alive with a win over the visiting Atlanta side, which would make it three straight.
