Sporting Kansas City have been decimated by injuries. It’s a game that Real Salt Lake should win. Sporting did beat the Crew in Columbus last week in a 1-0 victory, but they’ve struggled all season, having earned 19 points. RSL, on the other hand, have earned 20 points, so the margin isn’t that wide, but where RSL has more wins, SKC has significantly more draws. For RSL fans who had hoped to see Benny Feilhaber lose to RSL in a Rapids jersey, this might be the next best thing.
RSL’s attack has struggled to break down defenses in the last few games.
