Real Salt Lake team news
The hosts enter this match on a seven-game winless streak, last earning a victory in April. The squad is significantly impacted by the international break: key playmaker Diego Luna and winger Dominik Marczuk are both unavailable, reducing attacking options. Academy product Zavier Gozo has stepped up with a run of starts on the right wing, while recent addition Johnny Russell is expected to feature.
Defensive midfielder Noel Caliskan has impressed since being moved to right back and should start again. RSL’s home form has been inconsistent, but the club will be boosted by a special pre-game ceremony honoring club legend Nick Rimando. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni will look to snap the winless run and capitalize on a stretch of home-heavy fixtures through mid-August.
DC United team news
DC United travel to Utah after a humiliating 7-1 home defeat to the Chicago Fire, extending their own inconsistent run. The squad is also missing key contributors: midfielder Matti Peltola is away with Finland at the U21 Euros, and forward Dominique Badji, who scored in the last match, will be relied upon again.
DC’s defense has struggled, conceding 35 goals this season—among the league’s worst records. Christian Benteke remains the main attacking threat with six goals, while goalkeeper Luis Barraza will look to steady the back line. There are no new injury concerns reported, but the team’s confidence will be low after recent results.
