ColoradoRapids.com - The Rapids travel to Rice-Eccles Stadium Wednesday night to take on Real Salt Lake in the two teams' final match-up of 2005.

A win against Salt Lake, coupled with a loss by the LA Galaxy on Saturday vs. San Jose would mean that the Rapids could leapfrog into the #3 spot in the playoff standings.

The Rapids will also be looking to claim the inaugural Rocky Mountain Cup in this important match against regional rivals Real Salt Lake.

The Rapids currently hold the lead in the competition's standings, having a 6-3 advantage in points, and a 4-2 advantage in goal differential. With a win or a tie Wednesday night, the Rapids can claim the trophy outright. The Black & Blue can also claim the trophy even if RSL wins, depending on the score of the game.
