Real Salt Lake is scheduled to host St. Louis CITY SC at America First Field this Saturday. The match comes as the club continues its pursuit of a final postseason spot in the Western Conference with only four regular season games remaining.
The club enters the contest following a 3-1 road victory against Kansas City last week. During that match, Morgan Guilavogui recorded his first MLS brace for the club, supported by assists from midfielder Noel Caliskan. Rookie striker Sergi Solans also scored in that fixture, bringing his season total to 16 goals across all competitions.
Real Salt Lake currently holds a record of 10 wins, 14 losses, and 6 draws for 36 points, placing them 10th in the West and 17th in the MLS Shield standings. The club sits three points behind ninth-place Colorado for the final Wild Card berth. To extend a six-season postseason qualification streak, the club likely requires at least three wins in its remaining four matches.
Head coach Pablo Mastroeni has managed the club for 202 matches since late August 2021, recording 87 wins, 80 losses, and 51 draws. Mastroeni has averaged 1.60 points per game during his tenure. The club has demonstrated resilience under his leadership, recording 37 wins and 19 draws in games following a loss.
Following the Saturday match, Real Salt Lake is scheduled to travel to Austin FC next Wednesday. The club will then play San Jose on Saturday, Oct. 31, before a potential Decision Day match against LA Galaxy on Saturday, Nov. 7.
