Austin FC vs Real Salt Lake

Current streaks

Recent form

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. They are currently on a three-game winless streak in Major League Soccer, including back-to-back losses in their two most recent league fixtures. The team's offensive output has been particularly worrisome, averaging just 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches, with four of those games seeing Austin FC score one goal or fewer. Defensively, they've managed only one clean sheet during this period. An interesting trend is the prevalence of low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 total goals. Despite these struggles, Austin FC has maintained a mid-table position, sitting 11th in the league, which suggests their earlier season form was stronger than their recent performances.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games showing inconsistency. Despite being in 2nd position in the league, their recent performances have been concerning, particularly in terms of defense. They've conceded 14 goals in their last 6 matches, averaging 2.33 goals conceded per game, which is significantly higher than their offensive output of 1.5 goals scored per game. The team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their most recent match, a 3-3 draw against Portland Timbers, exemplifies this trend. Notably, Real Salt Lake suffered two consecutive losses against Houston Dynamo, conceding 7 goals across those two matches. Despite these defensive struggles, their ability to maintain a high league position suggests resilience and offensive capability when needed.

Recent home/away form

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent home form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game winless streak at their own stadium. They've lost their last two home matches without scoring a goal, which is particularly worrying for their offensive output. In their last six home games, they've managed only one win, two draws, and three losses, scoring just five goals while conceding seven. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, failing to do so in any of these six matches. Interestingly, 67% of these games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring affairs. The highest-scoring game in this period was a 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC, which stands out in an otherwise goal-shy run of form.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded only one win, one draw, and four losses, indicating a struggle to perform consistently away from home. Defensively, the team has been particularly vulnerable, conceding an alarming average of 2.83 goals per game in these fixtures and failing to keep a single clean sheet. The matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of them featuring over 2.5 goals. Notably, their 4-3 victory against Sporting Kansas City stands out as a thrilling, high-scoring encounter. Despite their poor away form, Real Salt Lake has managed to maintain a strong league position, sitting 2nd with 51 points from 30 games, suggesting better performances at home are compensating for their road struggles.
