Austin vs Seattle Sounders

Austin are a tough, well-organized defensive unit, with four clean sheets so far, but even though they have earned draws against the top two teams in the Western Conference (Seattle and Kansas City), they still struggle to find the back of the net, going goalless in eight fixtures already this year. Losing a game will not sit well with the Sounders, who now have some competition atop the table, which will give them even more added motivation to get back to winning ways.

The candidate to win should be Seattle but they are not in good shape (won only 1 of the last 4 games) and they are away. They face 2 of the 3 teams with less goals per game. A close game with few goals is expected.

Seattle Sounders might still be on the top of the table in the Western Conference table but their loss in the previous outing has become their concern. The absence of Roldan brothers for playing in Gold Cup, Nicolas Loderio, Shane O’Neill, Will Bruin and Stefan Frei due to their injury plus the suspension of Xavier Arreaga could impact their form here. Luckily, Austin FC won’t be able to playe their best line up too with Jon Gallagher, Nick Loma, Danny Hoesen and Ben Sweat on the sideline. The visiting side could snatch three point here but the a stalemate might be a fairer result.

Seattle Sounders had performed better than Austin in the last five H2H games. Moreover, they are a top team so place a bet for Seattle Sounders to win. Over 1.5 goals is a safe bet because both teams will score a goal in the game.
