HERRIMAN, Utah – Real Salt Lake (4-2-4, 16 pts, t-3rd West) travels to Tennessee for the first time ever this weekend, visiting Nashville SC (3-3-3, 12 pts, 9th West) Sunday afternoon. All-time, RSL has earned four points in two home matches against the 2021 expansion side, winning 2-1 at home back on March 19 (Wood 2′, Schmitt 54′) following a scoreless draw at Rio Tinto Stadium a year ago. Sunday’s match marks the second-ever Nashville home match at the 30,000+ capacity GEODIS Park, which opened on May 1 with a 1-1 draw against Philadelphia.
