Riding high from a massive 4-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes earlier this week, Real Salt Lake will play host to Rocky Mountain Cup rivals Colorado Rapids in the second of a two-game home stand.
While the Rocky Mountain Cup itself is on the line, there’s so much more to be played for in this game. Desperately needing another three points to stay relevant in the playoff conversation, RSL will look to dismantle their bottom-of-the-table foes and keep pace with San Jose and Vancouver.
With a 2-1 victory for RSL earlier this year, if they should come out on top in this match, they’ll secure the Rocky Mountain Cup for the ninth time in 13 years, clearly dominating their rivals over the course of their MLS history.
