BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Real Salt Lake has proven it can win at home. Now it needs
to do it on the road.
It's been more than two months since the Utah-based Major League Soccer side faced a team with a non-losing record away from Rio Tinto Stadium.
That will change at 7:30 p.m. tonight when Real takes on the Chicago Fire in an ESPN2-televised clash at Toyota Park.
It's a rematch of the 2009 Eastern Conference final, which Real claimed on penalty kicks to advance to the MLS Cup.
RSL (8-3-3, 27 points) is currently in second place in the Western Conference and has the second-best overall record in Major League Soccer.
Chicago is 4-4-5 overall and sits in fourth place on the Eastern Conference table.
Real enters the road fixture on a nine-match unbeaten streak (7-0-2), dating back to a 1-0 loss on April 24 at Columbus. Chicago is 5-1-4 in 10-all time matches against Real and is 3-0-2 at home against the Claret-and-Cobalt.
