Real Salt Lake visit Sporting Kansas City aiming to bridge a five-point gap to the playoff places with only five matches remaining.
Sporting Kansas City sit 15th on 22 points, 16 points and six places off the playoff places with five games left. They enter after a 2-1 away defeat to Seattle Sounders, though recent weeks have shown competitive spirit following high-scoring victories over Los Angeles FC and Houston Dynamo.
Real Salt Lake remain in the post-season hunt, placed 11th on 33 points and five points off the playoff places with five matches remaining. They halted a damaging four-match losing streak with a 3-0 home win over New England Revolution last time out, but poor recent road momentum leaves little margin for error.
