Austin FC and FC Dallas square off against each other in a Texas derby with both sides desperate to return to winning ways in MLS. Austin have suffered back-to-back league defeats against Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids, but their recent League Cup performances have provided some encouragement. Home form is certainly a reason for optimism, with the Verde winning 75% of their last four matches at Q2 Stadium while scoring an impressive 2.25 goals per game. Summer signing Przemyslaw Placheta is likely to start, although Mikkel Desler remains sidelined.
FC Dallas, meanwhile, are winless in their last three MLS outings and will be looking to rediscover the form that saw them win five of their previous 10 games. The Toros have been particularly productive in attack, scoring 1.6 goals per game during that period, while BTTS landed in 60% of their last 10 matches. Brazilian duo Danile and Geovane Jesus are both injured, with Nolan Norris pushing for a starting berth. History favours Dallas, who have won eight of the previous 14 meetings, while 64% of those encounters produced BTTS.
Considering that 8 of the last 14 meetings produced at least three goals, and both sides have averaged around three total goals per game recently, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Over 9.5 corners.
This MLS match will be played on Monday 17 August 2026 at 01:30.
