Austin FC and Real Salt Lake will go head-to-head at the Q2 Stadium on Wednesday in the MLS.
The hosts head into the midweek clash on a run of three consecutive defeats and will seek to end this dry spell.

Meanwhile, Salt Lake were held to an uneventful goalless draw by DC United on Saturday.
This followed a 2-0 loss against Los Angeles FC on September 5, which saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end. With 43 points from 30 games, Salt Lake are seventh in the West, three points off eighth-placed La Galaxy outside the playoffs qualifying spot.
