Real Salt Lake are back at home after a weekend road trip where they captured all three points in Austin, Texas. Once again, they host the LA Galaxy on a Wednesday night in Sandy, Utah. The Galaxy visited last week and were able to defeat RSL 3-2. LA is last in MLS, and dropping all three points at home was a major failure for Real. But advancing in the US Open Cup is more important than league results right now. RSL are just three wins away from lifting a trophy and Champions League football.
Sava and Gomez
Over the weekend, Jefferson Savarino, who has been linked with a possible move to Fortaleza in Brazil, did not travel to Austin. Right sided winger Andres Gomez came into the second half of that game as a sub, regardless both of RSL’s marquee wingers will be fresh for this game. Against Austin, Gomez did have an assist for Rubin’s second goal, which was crucial in getting all three points since Austin scored in stoppage time. These two haven’t always delivered but they’re amongst RSL’s most talented players and Open Cup hopes are on the line tonight.
