Seattle Sounders will be looking to quickly put behind their recent FIFA Club World Cup campaign behind them when they return to MLS action on Saturday night where they will play host to Austin FC in an all-Western Conference clash at Lumen Field.
Not only did Seattle Sounders slump to three defeats on the trot in the group stage of the Club World Cup, losing at the hands of Botafogo, Atletico Madrid and PSG, the upcoming hosts also slipped to defeats in the MLS beforehand.
Losses to Minnesota United and Vancouver Whitecaps on the domestic stage means Brian Schmetzer’s side will be desperate to make amends in this upcoming encounter and with an overall home record to date of 5-2-1 18/8, the hosts still look in good shape on home turf to turn things around here.
Austin FC sit just below their upcoming opponents Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference ladder on goal difference but the visitors will be aiming to make it three league wins on the trot in the MLS following recent back-to-back wins against Colorado Rapids and NY Red Bulls.
Results overall have been pretty promising where Austin FC have been concerned as Nico Estévez’s side have been handed just one loss in their last eight matches across all competitions.
However, Austin have picked up only three wins during this period which have been against Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup along with MLS victories against the aforementioned Colorado and Vancouver.
Four stalemates within these previous eight games suggests Austin may well be happy to walk away from Lumen Field with a point here but as they possess an inconsistent looking record on the road of 3-1-5 7/13 so far this season, the visitors might face a tough night at the office in this clash.
The Betting Verdict
Seattle Sounders have lost just once in the previous eight meetings against Austin FC.
The Pick :
Seattle Sounders 2-1 Austin FC
