Form guide
Austin drew 3-3 with San Diego, lost 4-1 at home to Nashville, 3-1 at LAFC and 2-1 at home to Vancouver, then won 2-1 at Sporting Kansas City. They scored in all five and conceded in all five.
Real Salt Lake beat New England 3-0, lost 2-1 at Philadelphia, drew 1-1 with San Jose, won 3-1 at Sporting Kansas City and beat St. Louis 3-0.
Head-to-head
Real Salt Lake have not lost in the last five meetings. Every one had two or more goals, and four had three or more, including 5-1 and 3-1.
Team news
Real Salt Lake have six players out, including Luna and Eneli. Austin are missing defenders Bell and Kolmanič.
Our prediction and why
Our main pick is Over 1.5 goals, because every one of both teams' last five games had two or more goals, and so did each of the last five meetings.
We also take Over 2.5 goals. Real Salt Lake scored three in three of their last five, and Austin scored in all five of theirs, which fits our rule. Real Salt Lake's absentees are the main risk.
