Real Salt Lake vs Austin FC Prediction & Betting Tips | 02/06/2024 | Football

Our prediction for this MLS match:

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake

Austin FC

Austin FC

Real Salt Lake play host to Austin FC at their America First Field in a highly-anticipated Major League Soccer game. The Royals are leading the chase for the Western Conference title, with the team suffering only two defeats in the process. All Marcelo Silva, Erik Holt, Pablo Ruiz, and Kevin Bonilla are sidelined with injuries for the home team, while both Brayan Vera and Bode Hidalgo are major doubts.

Los Verdes, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Portland Timbers. As Austin FC continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels, we are tempted to place our bets on the Western Conference leaders. Jon Gallagher remains on the sidelines with a groin problem, but the 28-year-old should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Real Salt Lake defeated Austin 2-1.

Highlighted Team (Real Salt Lake):

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake joined Major League Soccer in 2005 as an expansion team of the league and four years later they won their first MLS Cup. The Royals faced star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game at Qwest Field in Seattle and Jason Kreis’ troops defeated David Beckham and Co. on penalties.

In 2013 Real Salt Lake made it to the MLS Cup final for the second time in the club’s history, but they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City on penalties this time out. The Royals participated in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2011 as well, but Monterrey of Mexico eventually won the title. Real Salt Lake footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white.

The likes of Clint Mathis, Jeff Cunningham and Eddie Pope are some of the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Jeff Cunningham scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in the league for the Royals.
