Toronto FC are looking to get back to winning ways as they travel to meet Real Salt Lake on Saturday afternoon.

TFC (5-4-2) are sixth in the East with 17 points and are coming into Saturday’s game winless in three games after a goalless tie with D.C. United on Wednesday.

The Reds had all the possession with 71 per-cent and dominated with 32 shots compared to D.C.’s three, but failed to find a single goal to take all three points.

RSL (4-6-1) occupy the final playoff spot in the West right now with 13 points and have two wins in four at home. They come into the game after snapping a two-game losing run with a 3-2 road win over the Colorado Rapids.

When the sides met last season it finished 3-1 for TFC at BMO Field and when the Reds last traveled to Utah, Nick Rimando denied Sebastian Giovinco from the spot as they battled out to a 0-0 tie.

Greg Vanney’s side are winless at Rio Tinto Stadium with five losses and one tie.

Team news

Jordan Allen and Tony Beltran are both out injured, Erik Holt and Everton Luiz are doubtful, while Rimando is questionable.

Jozy Altidore returned on the weekend against Philadelphia but missed out against D.C., the American forward has traveled to Utah but is listed as questionable. Auro Jr. recovered enough to feature on Wednesday while Laurent Ciman missed out.

Kickoff is at 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at Rio Tinto Stadium. The game will be televised in Canada on TSN 2 and CTV, and in the U.S. on KMYU.
