The 2022 MLS Cup playoffs roll onward this weekend as Austin FC welcome Real Salt Lake to face them at Q2 Stadium. The Texan outfit just missed out on top spot in the Western Conference, and with it, a bye to week two, behind LAFC.
That means they'll have to overcome their visitors, who just scraped into the top seven over the final weeks of the regular campaign - and despite home advantage, they will not be taking any chances.
