🗞️ Team News: Real Salt Lake

Zack Farnsworth (Unknown Injury), Axel Kei (Unknown Injury) and Damir Kreilach (Back Injury) won’t be available for Real Salt Lake boss Pablo Mastroeni.

We think that Claret and Cobalt will probably opt for a 4-4-2 formation, utilising Zac MacMath, Andrew Brody, Justen Glad, Marcelo Silva, Chris Kablan, Maikel Chang, Jasper Löffelsend, Pablo Ruiz, Justin Meram, Bobby Wood and Sergio Córdova.

ℹ️ Team News: San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes boss Alex Covelo has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Javier López (Fitness) and George Asomani (Hip Injury) will miss out on this game.

It’s our belief that Quakes will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, going with JT Marcinkowski, Paul Marie, Tanner Beason, Nathan Cardoso, Tommy Thompson, Eric Remedi, Jan Gregus, Cade Cowell, Jamiro Monteiro, Cristian Espinoza and Jeremy Ebobisse.
