Austin FC vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

Austin, who are only in their second MLS season, continues to flourish. They’re currently in second place in the West and just two points behind LAFC with an 11-4-4 record. The Oaks have gone unbeaten in their last five matches as well, winning three in a row. Their MLS Cup odds are even at an attractive +1400.

The visitors rolled into Atlanta and ran riot over the weekend. Felipe Martins and Ethan Finlay had Austin two goals to the good by the 20th minute before striker Sebastian Driussi added insurance in the 57th minute. Atlanta actually enjoyed 62% of the ball and had more opportunities in the final third, but Josh Wolff’s men were far more clinical. Brad Stuver was solid in between the sticks as well, notching four saves.

Austin FC vs Houston Dynamo Key Stats

Houston on the other hand is in a poor spell of form at the moment. They’ve tasted defeat in four of their last six games which have seen them plummet down the Western Conference standings. However, Saturday’s stalemate with Dallas was a step in the right direction. The Dynamo really looked impressive on the attack, registering 19 shots in total and eight on target. They also had a whopping 23 crosses to just two for Dallas.

New DP signing Hector Herrera subbed on in the 55′ minute and made an immediate impact in the game. Also subbing on in the 55′, Thorleifur Ulfarsson came through with the equalizer late in the second half for Houston before Dallas scored what looked like the winner in the early stages of injury time. But, the Dynamo kept the pressure on and eventually found another goal in the dying seconds as defender Teenage Hadebe tapped home a long-range strike from winger Carlos Quintero. Needless to say, it was a drama-filled fixture.

Austin FC vs Houston Dynamo Pick

These two teams are truly on opposite sides of the spectrum right now. Austin is unbeaten on home soil against Houston and has been playing far too well to bet against here. Since the moneyline doesn’t offer a whole lot of value, there is another way to go about this. Take the hosts to win and both teams to score. The Over is definitely worth a flyer, too.

Pick: Austin to win & both teams to score (+225), Over 2.5 goals (-150)
