Despite their current three-game losing run, The Verde and Black are maintaining second place in the Western Conference, while RSL is clinging to the final playoff slot, three points ahead of the Los Angeles Galaxy despite having played one more game.

Austin FC Vs Real Salt Lake Tips and Prediction
The blazing attacking train in the Texas capital has come to an abrupt halt as Austin have gone two games without scoring for the first time since May, when they suffered a pair of one-goal defeats to the Los Angeles Galaxy and RSL.
Josh Wolff’s team had only lost one of their first 28 league games this season by more than one goal until suffering consecutive losses to Seattle Sounders and Nashville SC.
The Verde and Black, who are tied with Los Angeles FC for the most goals scored in the Western Conference, have only been shut out of four games as a team in their sophomore campaign.
Austin has spent the most of 2022 trying to catch up to the Black and Gold for first place in the West, but with only nine points separating them as of now.
They only need four more points to secure their postseason spot, but they will face competition for second place in the Conference as they trail Dallas by two points but have played one fewer game than the Toros.
In the past, Austin and Salt Lake have faced off four times, with the home team winning each time. Last season, Austin defeated Salt Lake 2-1 thanks to a brace from former winger Cecilio Dominguez.
Real Salt Lake lost a chance to pick up three crucial points over the weekend after failing to score against the poorest MLS team and went scoreless for the second straight domestic game. Pablo Mastroeni expressed disappointment after their 0-0 draw with DC, calling it a game they had to win but still praising his team’s transition performance and criticizing their final touches.
Claret and Cobalt have been shut out nine times during the regular season this year, which is the most for them in an MLS campaign since they were blanked ten times in 2017.
RSL has gained points in three of their previous four away domestic matches, twice fighting back from deficits to tie the San Jose Earthquakes, and last month, responding to an early Dallas goal with an equalizer in the final 21 minutes.
Only four points presently separate ninth place and seventh place in the Western Conference playoff race, and the Galaxy and Seattle Sounders are right on their heels.
At this point, only winning their next four regular-season games would ensure them a spot in the postseason; if they did, they would also surpass their victory total from 2021, when they won 14 games.
Conclusion
With 18 goals scored in their last five games at Q2 Stadium, the Verde and Black are extremely lethal at home.
We anticipate that their backline won’t be overly concerned by an RSL assault that isn’t nearly as potent or dynamic as Austin, regardless of how healthy Driussi is.
