Austin
Austin are unbeaten in 5 (W2, D3) and are just behind San Diego.
San Diego
San Diego have lost their last 3 matches, going down 1-0 away to Orlando City and 3-2 at home to San Jose Earthquakes before being beaten 5-0 by Philadelphia Union in their own backyard.
Head-to-Head
San Diego have won 2 of the last 3 meetings between these two sides and destroyed Austin 5-0 at home 4 months ago in MLS 2026, however, Austin will be buoyed by the fact that San Diego failed to beat them on their trip here.
Key Players
- Austin are 21st in MLS 2026 with 30pts from 26 games while San Diego are 20th with 30 points from 25 games.
- At home in MLS 2026, Austin have gone 4-5-3 in 12 games and score 1.33 goals per game and concede 1.00 goal per game, which suggests they are solid enough at the back but they're hardly prolific scorers either.
- Marcus Ingvartsen has been San Diego's most dangerous player in MLS 2026 with 11 goals in 21 appearances, but Facundo Torres has got 2 goals in 5 in Austin's last 5 games and is finding his stride.
Betting Insights
San Diego FC are the favourites here at 2.84 and the draw is third favourite at 3.75 , with Austin the second favourites at 2.22 .
Prediction
- Austin have more going for them but San Diego's odds are tempting enough that we'll side with the visitors to win as slight favorites.
- A San Diego goal would be nice, and as they have a little more quality going forward, they have a chance to cause Austin problems and we like their chances of netting an away goal.
