Toronto (2-3-0) at Real Salt Lake (1-3-1), 9 p.m.

Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Toronto FC travels to take on Real Salt Lake in a Major league Soccer fixture between two struggling teams that have high hopes for the 2010 season.

RSL is the defending league champion, but is off to a 1-3-1 start. They've also been called for three penalty kicks in five games.

That proved to be the difference last weekend, when RSL fell to Columbus 1-0, with a penalty-kick goal being the difference.

"I'm really disappointed that we've given up so many penalties," RSL defender Nat Borchers told mlssoccer.com.

Adding to the fact that RSL has been committing costly fouls in the area, the team has been dealing with injuries to key players early on, most notable Javier Morales, who could miss Saturday's game as well.

"I think its most important that we have faith in ourselves and then it helps to have a coaching staff that works with us and reminds that we did it all last year and we had a bad record in the beginning," RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando told mlssoccer.com. "Ours isn't too bad right now, there's worse out there, so we're going home for the next three games and if we get nine points out of that, then good, but if not, we've still got a long season."

Toronto, on the other hand, is just 2-3-0 on the season, but both of its wins have been at home. The Canadian club will have to find a way to get a result on the road if it want to be successful.

The key to the team's success will be the form of Dwayne De Rosario, who has scored five of its six goals this season.

Toronto will have to find a way to win without the services of defender Emmanuel Gomez because of a knee injury, while midfielder Amadou Sanyang is probable.

RSL will be without midfielder Ned Grabavoy, while forward Fabian Espindola and defender Chris Wingert are doubtful with injuries. Forward Robbie Findley and defender jamison Olave are probable.
