Austin FC<\/a> host Real Salt Lake<\/a> at Q2 Stadium on Wednesday, October 28 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin FC and Real Salt Lake both arrive at Q2 Stadium with clean injury sheets, so Wednesday’s lineups should come down to selection rather than enforced changes. Christian Ramirez leads the Austin FC attack with 9 goals in 1,311 minutes, flanked by Myrto Uzuni, who has 7 goals from 51 shots, and Facundo Torres, whose 65 chances created make him the side’s chief creator. Real Salt Lake’s selection centers on Sergi Solans, who has scored 12 goals from 60 shots, with Diego Luna’s 43 chances created driving the attack through midfield.<\/p>\n

Expect a cagey, low-scoring battle in Texas. Austin FC carry a -18 goal difference, a sign of games that have gotten away from them, but a tight home performance built around Ramirez’s movement should be enough to nose ahead of a Real Salt Lake side that has stumbled on the road this fall. With both teams still jostling in a congested Western Conference<\/a> table, neither will take risks that open the game up, and Signal’s model sees a single goal settling it.<\/p>\n
