Real Salt Lake will welcome Vancouver Whitecaps to the Rio Tinto Stadium in the MLS Western Conference on Saturday.
The hosts are coming off a 2-1 away victory over Seattle Sounders last weekend, with Sergio Cordova and Andrew Brody scoring in either half for Salt Lake. Vancouver, meanwhile, also triumphed in their last outing, beating Colorado Rapids by the same scoreline at home. Ryan Gauld's first-half brace guided the Canadians to a win.
The victory means the Blue-and-White currently occupy the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They sit in seventh place on 33 points, while Salt Lake are five points better off in fourth spot.

Real Salt Lake vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
The two teams are in the hunt to qualify for the playoffs and will be eager to consolidate their respective positions in the standings with a victory on Saturday.
Salt Lake have been the more consistent of the two teams and will enter the game as the favourites. However, their recent poor form on home turf has been a cause of concern. That's because they've won just once in their last five games in front of their home fans.
The attack-minded style of play of both teams means the game could be played at a frenetic pace, with plenty of goalscoring chances. Although either team could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring draw.
