The Vancouver Whitecaps and Real Salt Lake are playing live on the MLS schedule on Saturday night and the matchup starts at 9 pm ET from Rio Tinto Stadium and the matchup is a big one for the two sides, as they are battling in the standings for playoff position and they are each looking to get back on the winning side of things.

Salt Lake comes into the matchup second in the west standings and these teams are separated by just two points and the division is very close being the Seattle Sounders, who are in first by a wide margin. The Sounders have played better than anyone else this season and they are leading the MLS and now Real Salt Lake comes in after a loss against the LA Galaxy to extend the streak for Los Angeles to eight games, while Vancouver comes in after a draw at Toronto during the week.

The two teams have met nine times all time and this is the second game this season and it comes after a 2-2 draw and that was also in Utah and now the teams are playing again. RSL usually plays well against Vancouver and they have been undefeated in five games going back to 2012 and the Whitecaps have not won in this series on the road before and this makes for an even tougher matchup for the teams. The last time around RSL started things off quickly with a score just a couple minutes into the game and eventually Vancouver came back to get things to a draw.

Salt Lake comes into the game after losing four straight on the road and they fell 1-0 against the Galaxy in California and now that team has a nice unbeaten streak going, while they are in second place this season with 28 points RSL. The western conference is getting tight as things move along and now Vancouver comes in after playing one on the road and getting a point from Toronto and now the team matches up with RSL and this will be a tough game. The Whitecaps are in fifth place in the standings and looking to move up, while the Sounders have been the best team in all of the MLS, while Kansas City is first in the east.
