Sporting KC Scouting Report: Real Salt Lake

After having a week off Sporting Kansas City will take on Real Salt Lake this Saturday at 7:30 at Children’s Mercy Park.

These two teams have combined for some very memorable games like 2013 MLS Cup. Sporting KC and RSL games have a history of typically being very physical and a little scrappy, but after a very dismal 2015, will the once Western Conference giants, RSL, bounced back?
