Real Salt Lake travel to face Austin FC in MLS looking for the win that could see them in a Playoff spot come the end of this round's fixtures. The Claret and Cobalt could certainly leapfrog LA Galaxy into the final Wild Card spot, due to their match in hand. They face an Austin side who, despite their poor season, are still in contention for at least a Wild Card spot themselves. It's a big ask, but The Verde and Black did put an end to their dreadful run by beating Sporting Kansas City away last time out.
Real Salt Lake head into this one full of confidence after beating Sporting Kansas and St Louis City. The biggest issue RSL have had this season is their dire away form. They've only won twice on the road this season, losing ten of their 15 away games. Austin have lost five of their 15 home games, winning four and drawing six.
For our prediction, calling a winner is pretty tough. Both teams need the points and we can see both sides going all out to get the three points. For our pick, we're looking at the BTTS No Draw market.

Our Austin FC vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
With both teams needing the points to keep their Playoff dreams alive, we envisage a game where both teams go on the attack. A point apiece wouldn't really do either side any favor, so we think both teams will score in a game where one of them will take all three points.
