Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Austin vs Real Salt Lake, with Anthony Eadson expecting goals and little between the sides.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 1.5 second-half goals | 4/5 (bet365) | Second halves have been busy in both sides’ games. Nine of Austin’s 15 home games have had two or more goals after the break, and the same is true of nine of Real Salt Lake’s 15 away games. RSL have conceded 27 on the road without keeping a single away clean sheet, while Austin have failed to score in just one home game all season. At 4/5, two second-half goals is a solid place to start. |
| Draw and both teams to score | 10/3 (Sky Bet) | Austin have drawn six of their 15 home games, more than they have won, and five of those draws finished with both sides scoring. Real Salt Lake have drawn three of their 15 away games, all of them score draws. The last two meetings in Austin also ended level, 1-1 in May 2025 and 2-2 in September 2024. With both defences leaking, a score draw at 10/3 has plenty going for it. |
