Vancouver suffered a devastating blow on Friday night against Sporting Kansas City, and have now lost three in a row. They will now return home for their next match, which again on a Friday, as they will play host to Real Salt Lake. Real Salt Lake are coming off a solid win at home against Colorado, but they have been really inconsistent so far in the season.

Vancouver (3-4-1) are coming into this match after a really peculiar match last week against Sporting Kansas City on the road. The match started in the worst possible way, as they were already down by three goals by the 30th minute. They saw two red cards in the 40th minute, that pretty much ended the match, but they did conceded three more goals in the second half. Vancouver have now lost three in a row, conceding 10 goals in that span, against just one scored. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Western Conference with 10 points, just as many as their upcoming opponents.
Real Salt Lake (3-3-1) were really good in their previous match, but they did require some luck. Colorado were left with 10 men on the pitch when Howard received a straight red card, which paved the way for RSL to win. They did struggle a bit, but they took the lead at the 82nd minute, and scored two more goals till the end of the match. They have yet to record same consecutive results so far in the season, which goes to show that they really struggle to stay consistent. RSL are now sitting a the 5th spot of the Western Conference with 10 points, on a triple tie with Vancouver and the LA Galaxy.

The two teams have already met once in the new season, where Real Salt Lake won by 1-2 at home. However, they have struggled mightily in this venue over the years (1-7-1), having lost in each of their last five trips here. Vancouver are looking to bounce back to winning ways, so I will back them up here.
