Real Salt Lake host Charlotte at the America First Field in the MLS on Saturday, with both sides having similar starts to the season.
Real Salt Lake are currently 11th in the Western Conference, three points off the top nine. Pablo Mastroeni's side have been in poor form of late, having lost their last four games across all competitions. They will look to turn things around with a win against Charlotte on Saturday.
Charlotte are currently 14th in the Eastern Conference, two points off the top nine. Christian Lattanzio's side have been in decent form recently and are unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions. They will look to take that momentum into the game against Real Salt Lake on the weekend.
Both sides will be looking to climb up the table with a win and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
