Real Salt Lake have had a rough run lately, losing more than they've won, but they did manage a good away win in their most recent match. San Jose Earthquakes are in similar form, mixing a couple of wins with draws and a loss, so neither team is clearly in great shape right now. When these two meet, the games often have plenty of goals, with several recent meetings ending something like two-one or even four-nil.

Given how up and down both sides have been, this looks like a close match that could go either way. San Jose have shown they can score freely, while Salt Lake have struggled for consistency, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a draw or a narrow win for the visitors.
