In the Western Conference, Pablo Mastroeni's club has the second-fewest points scored at home (10) compared to having the best away record (scoring 20 points from 11 games travelled).
RSL's position in the postseason slots is determined by those away points, and if they win this weekend and both Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC lose, they may move up as high as second in the Western Conference.
By utilising their strong road performance this year, Orlando might hand Salt Lake their sixth home loss in the MLS.
The team led by Oscar Pareja has amassed the most away points in the Eastern Conference, and a victory this weekend would bring their total up to 15.
Only Charlotte FC (15) has scored more goals on the road than the Lions' 14, a statistic that helps Orlando because Charlotte FC has played two more away games than Pareja's team.
