The story

Salt Lake eye turnaround as LAFC chase title

Real Salt Lake look to reignite their push for European places as title-contenders Los Angeles FC arrive at America First Field in search of their first win in six matches.

Match news & current form

Real Salt Lake enter this fixture 10th in the standings on 28 points, currently nine points adrift of the European places. Pablo Mastroeni’s side has struggled for momentum recently, failing to win any of their last five matches (D2, L3), including a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids and a high-scoring 4-3 loss to FC Dallas.

Los Angeles FC remain firmly in the title race, sitting 3rd on 36 points and trailing the leaders by seven. However, Steve Cherundolo’s men have hit a significant slump, mirroring their hosts with a five-match winless streak (D3, L2). Their most recent outing was a 0-0 stalemate away at DC United, marking their second consecutive game without finding the net.

Head-to-head history

LAFC have historically dominated this fixture, notably securing a 4-1 victory in Utah last season. However, RSL have shown significant improvement this year compared to a 2025 campaign where they lost 17 matches and were outscored 8-2 across two meetings with the Black & Gold.

Hot stats & streaks
  • Hugo Lloris leads the league with nine clean sheets this season, two more than any other MLS goalkeeper.
  • LAFC are winless in their last five league matches, failing to score in three of those fixtures.
  • Real Salt Lake’s 19-year-old talent Gozo is the first player in league history to be named both an MLS All-Star and MLS NEXT All-Star in the same season.
  • RSL have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches, conceding exactly one goal in four of those games.
Key players & missing men

The hosts will rely on the creative spark of Gozo, who leads the team with six goals and five assists, alongside Sergi Solans. For the visitors, the injury list is extensive: Jacob Shaffelburg, Timothy Tillman, David Martínez, Thomas Hasal, Sergi Palencia, and Igor Jesus are all confirmed absentees, severely thinning the squad's depth for this trip to Sandy.
