The Seattle Sounders visit Real Salt Lake on Wednesday (7:00 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360AM) in Week 24 MLS action. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.
Nouhou vs. Jefferson Savarino
Real Salt Lake haven’t lost an MLS match since July 6, posting three wins and two draws and their last five league. While the foundation of their success has been a resolute defense, the individual brilliance of attacking players like Savarino has helped the team surge up the Western Conference standings. Savarino parlayed his breakout performance at Copa América into a rich vein of form with RSL, as the winger has recorded three goals and four assists from six starts since returning from the regional tournament.
