Real Salt Lake Preview

Pablo Mastroeni's leash might be getting shorter with the recent displays his men have produced on the pitch. RSL, prior to the Leagues Cup, were sitting just above the playoff cutoff zone. Since then, it has gone sideways. The Claret and Cobalt have lost five of their last six contests, including, in a rare scheduling occurrence, suffering back-to-back 4-1 defeats against Los Angeles FC. 

After a spectacular summer representing the USMNT at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Diego Luna has cooled off since then. The playmaking forward has obtained nine goals and two assists through 24 league appearances. The concern is his production in MLS play of late, which has seen him score only once in his previous 10 shifts.

Austin FC Preview

Heading into Saturday's tilt, Nico Estévez and his colleagues are enjoying a comfortable gap between themselves and teams that are in the playoff chase. Last weekend, The Verde and Black won in dramatic fashion, getting the better of the Seattle Sounders thanks to a 96th-minute winning goal from Myrto Uzuni, whose last kick of the match gave the home side a 2-1 victory. 

Austin FC is securing results thanks to the collective group effort from its players this season. The club has seen 13 different goal scorers breach the opposing keeper in 2025, with Uzuni leading the way with six goals. Just behind the Albanian, Wolff and Vazquez have each garnered five goals. Since June, there have been few and far between circumstances where Austin failed to ink the scorers' sheet, only being blanked on three occasions in a span of 15 games across all competitions.

Real Salt Lake vs. Austin FC - My Pick

Real Salt Lake vs. Austin FC pick: Both teams to score, yes (-150) at bet365

This weekend's affair should see both sides register a goal based on the recent outcomes that are transpiring. As stated above, Austin is in decent form, finding the target, but their backline play is a concern that can help our wager. The Verde and Black have gone ten straight skirmishes without achieving a clean sheet. Playing this fixture on the road could extend their streak, as they have conceded 24 away goals in 15 road matches in MLS.

RSL has also had a difficult stretch on defence, having gone six straight games without a shutout. This term, 73 percent of RSL's games at America First Field have seen them set off fireworks, and with Austin's deficiencies on the road, we feel the hosts can manage a tally. The previous six encounters between the two adversaries have seen both teams depositing their chances.
