Austin will host Atlanta United at the Q2 Stadium on Wednesday in the 13th round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways in the league after failing to pick up any points in three consecutive games.
Austin failed to capitalize on a few chances in their 2-1 loss against Cincinnati last weekend and have now lost four of their last five league games after going unbeaten in the previous four. The hosts are in 18th place in the combined league table and will be out to get all three points which could see them end the matchday as high as 12th place.
Atlanta continued their poor season in an underwhelming 2-1 loss to Chicago during the weekend, making it six league games without a win. The visitors are only two places from the bottom of the combined league table, having only won two of their opening 12 games, and will be desperate to get a result soon.
Los Verdes are favourites going into the weekend courtesy of their slightly better form but will need to improve on their poor offensive record to ensure they get all three points.
The Five Stripes will hope to end their winless run this weekend, but will need to be at their best to do that. They have, however, lost four of their five away games this season and could lose here as well.
Prediction: Austin 2-1 Atlanta United
Tip 1 - Result: Austin to win
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Over 2.5 goals (Three of the visitors' last four matches have produced more than 2.5 goals)
Tip 3 - Both teams to score: Yes
