New York City FC
New York City FC sits in an excellent spot at the moment. They are currently 4th in the East with 35 points. First of all, this is just four points behind the Union for the number one seed. More importantly, they have four games in hand to the Union. By that I mean they have played four less games than the team in first place. This gives them the opportunity to close the gap very quickly. NYCFC has also been very successful on the road, winning four of their ten road matches, with just two losses and four draws.
NYCFC are a team that can score a ton of goals. They have 36 in total this season. They also average 1.7 goals per game on the road. This is important because not many teams have been able to score at Real Salt Lake.

NYCFC also have one of the better defenses in all of the MLS. They have allowed just 24 goals this season. That gives them a goal differential of +12. The key for NYCFC will be to limit the Real Salt Lake scoring in anyway they can. Allowing one goal should not hurt them all that much, but if they allow two or more, they will be in a world of trouble.
Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake have drawn their last two games, so they really need a win here. Especially being at home where there have won seven of their ten games. They are now in 8th place in the West and are tied with Portland for the final playoff spot.
The attack for Real Salt Lake is average at best this season. They have scored 30 goals this season. At home however, is where they do their damage. They are averaging two goals per game in their home stadium and will probably need to score multiple times to win this game.

The Real Salt Lake defends at an elite level at home. They allow an average of 0.90 goals per game at home. Keeping a clean sheet will be how they have to win. Their attack is not as strong, so they cannot go behind early.
