With RSL having a semi-bye week(end), we decided to take a look at what the rest of the 2016 season might hold for the Claret-and-Cobalt. At the time of this article, Real sits second in the West and third in the Supporters’ Shield standings with 43 points form 27 matches. In other words, there are still seven matches for RSL to play.
The easy way to evaluate the sprint to the post-season is to simply assume that the season trend will hold steady for each of the clubs in the league. This means that RSL’s 1.59 points per game would result in a solid 54-point season – above the magic number 52, which almost certainly results in a post-season appearance.
