Both teams are a balanced 4-4-1 in their 9 overall meetings, while Austin is 3-1-1 in their last 5 home meetings against Real Salt Lake. Over is 8-0 in their last 8 meetings, and all of their five previous meetings in Austin had gone over the total.

In this Real Salt Lake vs Austin FC Prediction, Austin is coming as -110 home favorites. Austin is rightfully favored, as they have more points this season, but they are having trouble winning lately, as their offense has been struggling this season. Real Salt Lake has been terrible on the road, losing their majority of their games, and I don’t see value on either side. Both teams have bottom-4 offenses this season, scoring 1.67 goals per game combined, while Austin boasts the third-best defense of the West. As a result, both teams are involved in lower-scoring games lately, going for 6-2 to the under in their last 8 games combined, and I see another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 2.5 goals.
