Real Salt Lake—about halfway through their big summer home stretch—will play host to the Montreal Impact this weekend in a game that will be seen by many RSL fans as a must-win after giving up a late goal in a disappointing draw against DC United last week.
Salt Lake hopes to keep their unbeaten home record alive this season, as they have five wins and two draws at Rio Tinto on the year in MLS play.
Montreal (6-4-6, 24 points) finds themselves in a favorable position, sitting at third place in the Eastern Conference, just four points behind first-place New York City FC with three games in hand.
