Real Salt Lake vs New York Red Bulls Match Preview
A pair of 2nd-placed teams in their respective conferences is on the cards Saturday night in the Utah. New York will bring their new star-laden lineup, featuring Thierry Henry, to Rio Tinto where Real Salt Lake have been unbeatable. Both teams will be looking to further their causes for playoff positioning and Supporters' Shield contention, while Real Salt Lake also look to tie the MLS home unbeaten streak. The Red Bulls will look to get in the way of this, and prove their recent lineup moves are truly making a difference for the push to league supremacy.
Things are looking good for the visitors in this match up with the road-weary Salt Lakers look forward to taking on the new-look Red Bulls at home. But they'll be without key components Albaro Saborio (Costa Rica) and Will Johnson (Canada), who are away with their respective national teams.
But, the home side will certainly like their chances as they have scored 46 goals and allowed just 11 at home since they were last defeated at Rio Tinto on May 16, 2009 – a stretch of 21 games.
Look for a draw in this match.
