Real Salt Lake (4-6-4, 16 pts., 11th West) now focuses on recapturing its legendary home form, as three of its next four matches will be played on Utah soil – where RSL historically has earned nearly 2.00 points per game with a .700 winning percentage – after Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni’s side earned seven road points in three away games last week.
Since April 8, RSL has recorded six wins, two losses and four draws in its last 12 games across multiple competitions, as the four games to be played between now and June 10 will push the slate of schedule congestion to 15 games in 48 days across MLS and Open Cup action, during which Mastroeni and the RSL staff have used 25 different players.
