7th placed Western Conference outfit, Austin FC, will play host to 6th placed Eastern Conference visitors, New York RB, with both sides looking to capture a valuable three points in their quests for possible top seven finishes in their respective Conferences when they face off at Q2 Stadium on Saturday night.
However, despite collecting a much-needed three points courtesy of a 2-0 win away from home at Colorado Rapids, that rare victory has been Austin FC’s only highlight in their previous nine games overall in the MLS.
Within this rather barren looking nine-game sequence, Austin FC have also been handed four defeats along with being involved in four draws as well, so the upcoming hosts are by no means a guaranteed three-point haul here despite holding home advantage at Q2 Stadium.
Austin FC also possess an indifferent looking home record which stands at 3-4-2 6/7 with goals being a rare commodity as well.
New York RB head into this upcoming encounter in Texas on the back of a three-game winning streak which consists of victories gained over the likes of DC United, Charlotte and Atalanta respectively.
The former win at DC United was on the road while the subsequent wins were both registered on home turf but the visitors had also previously captured a welcome 4-3 win on aggregate against Dallas in the US Open Cup.
Sandro Schwarz’s side have struggled on their travels so far in this season’s MLS campaign though as the visitors currently possess a disappointing away record which stands at 1-2-5 5/11 so the prospects of an away win here seems unlikely.
The Betting Verdict
There have been only three previous meetings between Austin FC and New York RB but it’s the visitors who have held the upper hand, being unbeaten in each of the three encounters with one win and two draws.
The Pick :
Austin FC 1-1 New York RB
