Austin FC Form
Austin FC have struggled to win matches of late, and they are currently winless in their last four after drawing twice and losing once.
Before that, they had won three of their previous seven matches, losing the other four. Their poor run saw them miss out on the chance to really put pressure on top side LAFC in the table.
Now, Austin must look to bounce back from their tough run of form as they battle to make it through an arduous playoff campaign that will push them to their limits.
Real Salt Lake Form
Real Salt Lake have been very inconsistent of late. A win against the Portland Timbers rounded off their regular season but, before that, they had failed to win any of their previous five, losing three and drawing twice.
Real Salt Lake's struggles have been built on an inability to keep the ball out of their own net. Just two clean sheets in their last 10 have undermined the side as they look to go forward and score goals.
If they are to beat Austin, then they will need to stifle the second highest scoring side in the Western Conference. This is something few believe they can do.
