W-D-L	7-2-2	3-4-4
Win Rate	64%	27%

Tactical Points

Real Salt Lake's strong home credentials form the primary tactical foundation. The 64% home win rate (7W-2D-2L) demonstrates how effectively the home venue neutralizes visiting opponents, yet the 4 defeats in 5 recent matches inject significant volatility into their form narrative. New York City FC's road weakness becomes starker in context: 27% away record (3W-4D-4L) reveals a team more comfortable drawing than winning in hostile environments. Scoring efficiency favors NYCFC at 1.3 goals per match versus RSL's 1.2, but Real Salt Lake's defensive fragility is evident at 1.9 goals conceded per game against NYCFC's 1.4. This gap suggests RSL's defensive instability is material, though home-ground pressure may compress this vulnerability.
