Following a 1-1 draw with FC United, Houston Dynamo will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Austin FC at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday. The Orange Crush have been particularly impressive on home soil of late, remaining unbeaten in their last five home matches (four wins, one draw) while averaging just 0.40 goals conceded per game during that spell. Houston have also posted solid underlying numbers, generating an average of 1.71 expected goals over their last ten outings. The hosts will have to cope without injured duo Antonio Carlos and Steve Maurer, but their excellent home form makes them favourites to claim all three points.
Austin FC, meanwhile, kept their playoff hopes alive with a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders last time out. However, Los Verdes have struggled badly on their travels this season, failing to win any of their last six away matches while collecting just 0.33 points per game. Defensive issues have also plagued the visitors away from home, where they are conceding an average of 3.33 goals per match across their last six road fixtures. Injuries to Bell and Desler further weaken Austin's chances, especially against a Houston side that has won four of its last five home games. Although Austin lead the overall head-to-head record with nine wins from 15 meetings, current form points towards the Dynamo enjoying the better evening.
Houston have won four of their last five home matches, while Austin are winless in six consecutive away games. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Houston to Win to Nil and Under 2.5 goals (Houston's home matches average only 1.60 goals, with the Dynamo conceding just 0.40 goals per game at Shell Energy Stadium).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 26 July 2026 at 01:30.
