Austin and Real Salt Lake meet in a game where both sides still need points to finish the season well. The hosts sit lower in the table and just ended a five-match run with a 2-1 win over an opponent above them in the standings, while the visitors are clearly in better form and are unbeaten in 3 straight. Austin have scored 40 goals but conceded 57 all season, and the defensive problems are visible in the scorelines. Real Salt Lake, meanwhile, have scored 48 and conceded 48, far more balanced, and recently picked up convincing wins in two of their last three matches. This game is likely to see Austin dominate possession and try to open up the attack, while Real Salt Lake will probably sit back and wait for quick counter-attacking chances. If the hosts push forward and get caught in midfield, the game could easily swing the visitors' way.
