Real Salt Lake vs. Eintracht Frankfurt match preview

It’s been a long-standing tradition for MLS teams to host big-name international clubs in friendlies during the European offseason, and Real Salt Lake has jumped in on that tradition for the past three years, first hosting Inter Milan in 2016 followed by Manchester United in 2017. This year is no different, as RSL welcomes the current German Cup champions Eintracht Frankfurt from the Bundesliga in Germany.

With some familiar names on their roster such as USMNT alum Timmy Chandler, and former RSL man and Mexican international Carlos Salcedo, Frankfurt will take the field against RSL, a team who’s currently 8-1-1 at home this season after taking down two Western Conference giants this past week.
