Austin Fc vs Real Salt Lake Picks and Predictions May 28th 2025

Skidding Clubs Clash as Real Salt Lake Oppose Austin FC

Austin FC will look to leverage home-field advantage on Wednesday night to snap a six-game winless skid as they take on Real Salt Lake in a clash between two struggling MLS sides.

The Verde are currently on a 0-3-3 run and find themselves slipping down the Western Conference standings. While Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Minnesota United wasn’t the worst result, it once again highlighted Austin’s inability to finish matches strong. Goalkeeper Brad Stuver was pivotal in securing the point, making eight saves in a gritty performance.

“There are a lot of positives… a cohesive and connected team in a solid professional performance, but we came here to win, and we need to get better in order to win.”
— Nico Estevez, Austin FC Head Coach

Goals Still Scarce for Both Clubs

Zan Kolmanic netted the equalizer for Austin, but the team’s continued goal-scoring woes remain apparent. Brandon Vazquez leads the club with four goals — the rest of the roster has combined for just six all season.

It’s a similar story for Real Salt Lake. Although they started hot against the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday — scoring twice in the first four minutes — they collapsed late and lost 3-2.

Eighteen-year-old Zavier Gozo made headlines with his first professional goal in the opening minute, but Vancouver responded and sealed the game with a 90th-minute winner.

“We were looking to make a point. I think we did that in the first 20 minutes, but… we need to maintain that.”
— Zavier Gozo, Real Salt Lake Forward

Diego Luna added his eighth goal of the season in the loss, making him Salt Lake’s only multi-goal scorer so far in 2025 — mirroring Vazquez’s lone standout status on Austin’s attack.
