Taking to the field in front of a home crowd for the second time this season on Saturday evening will be Real Salt Lake, who host Austin FC at America First Field. After a slightly tepid start to the campaign, losing by a goal to zero away to the Whitecaps, the RSL boys have turned it around swiftly, getting up and running on gameday two, beating the Seattle Sounders by two goals to one, before shifting through the offensive gears to defeat Atlanta United away from home, winning by three goals to two.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Austin FC Prediction
I'd say that this game is a slightly greater opportunity for both the hosts and the visitors to do some offensive damage than the early odds suggest. In other words, betting 'Both Team to Score' at -125 is a value move, and that's the name of the game. The hosts played well to beat the Sounders when they last played at home, but they couldn't keep a clean sheet, while they've now conceded in three out of three.
The visitors also look a little sloppy at the back, but they too pack a punch offensively, which is why they've scored in three out of three so far this season. Do not be surprised if both teams find the net here. I certainly won't be.
Our Real Salt Lake vs Austin FC Pick: Both Teams to Score.
