Real Salt Lake is still pushing for a play-in spot, but the outlook with five matches remaining isn't promising. They are currently five points adrift of the play-in positions, but Saturday presents a golden opportunity to secure three points.

Real Salt Lake is hoping that a manager with as much experience with the team as Mastroeni can pull off a dramatic comeback in the final stretch to get his team into the play-in. In 217 matches managing Salt Lake, he has 86 victories. On Saturday, they face the bottom-ranked Sporting Kansas City, against whom Salt Lake City is undefeated in their last five encounters.

Sporting Kansas City, playing at Children's Mercy Park, has only managed one win in the last two months; they are coming off a comfortable defeat against Nashville in their previous match.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Real Salt Lake Prediction

Injuries have plagued Real Salt Lake all season, but at least manager Mastroeni received some welcome news of players returning from injury just in time for the final stretch of the season, including Sanabria, Lobjanidze, and Henry.

Unfortunately, Sporting Kansas City is having one of the worst seasons of any MLS club in history; the four goals they conceded against Nashville brought Kansas City's total to 72 goals in 29 matches this season.

Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Real Salt Lake is: Real Salt Lake to win.

Prediction:

 

Real Salt Lake win the match
