Real Salt Lake host FC Dallas at America First Field on Wednesday, August 19 (9:30 PM ET \/ 8:30 PM CT \/ 6:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Real Salt Lake have no fresh fitness concerns to work around this week, with Sergi Solans leading the line after scoring 8 goals from 40 shots this season. Diego Luna offers the creative edge alongside him, chipping in with 4 goals and a team-high 33 chances created. Morgan Guilavogui and Juan Sanabria add further threat, with Guilavogui registering 15 shots on target and Sanabria contributing 25 chances created of his own. FC Dallas travel with a clean bill of health too, Petar Musa the man they build around after 13 goals from 61 shots this season, 27 of them on target. Logan Farrington offers a second scoring threat having found the net 6 times himself.<\/p>\n

This Western Conference<\/a> clash is a genuinely tight one, Real Salt Lake sitting sixth on 28 points with FC Dallas just a place and a point behind in seventh. The hosts have stumbled to D L L D D across their last five, but home advantage and Solans’s scoring form make them the more dangerous side over 90 minutes. FC Dallas counter with Musa’s individual quality, the Croatian responsible for 13 of their goals this season, and they arrive off a W W D L D sequence that shows they can still hurt sides at their best. Expect goals at both ends at America First Field.<\/p>\n\n\n
