Our prediction for this MLS match:
Following a 2-1 win over Minnesota United, Austin will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Real Salt Lake on Sunday morning. Austin are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Real Salt Lake. Barring any fresh injury worries, Josh Wolff is unlikely to make changes to the team that won the midweek game.
The Royals, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting side, all Bryan Oviedo, Zac MacMath, Erik Holt, and Zack Farnsworth should miss out through injuries. In their last encounter in the Major League Soccer Austin defeated Real Salt Lake 2-1.

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.
