Austin will host Real Salt Lake at the Q2 Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have endured a difficult run of results in the league of late after a fairly decent start to their season and now sit ninth in the Western Conference with 19 points from 15 matches.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United in their last match, falling behind in the opening 20 minutes of the contest before 25-year-old Zan Kolmanic leveled the scores later in the second half with his first-ever professional goal.
Real Salt Lake have not fared much better than their midweek opponents in recent games and have endured a more difficult campaign overall. They squandered a two-goal lead in their 3-2 home defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps last time out, racing to a two-goal lead less than five minutes after kick-off before their opponents came from behind to snatch all three points in the second half.
Trending
The visitors sit 12th in the West with just 14 points and will be desperate to turn a corner over the next couple of matches.
