Seattle Sounders will be desperate to put an end to their eight-game losing run in MLS when they face Austin FC in an important MLS encounter. The hosts are enduring a nightmare run, losing nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps. Seattle have managed just one win during that period and are averaging only 0.70 goals per game, while their home record across the last five is also poor at 0.60 points per game. Their defensive struggles are evident too, with 2.10 goals conceded per match over their last 10. Arriola, de La Vega, Gomez Andrade, Morris, and Petkovic remain unavailable.
Austin are also struggling, heading into this clash on a three-game losing streak in MLS. Their away form is particularly worrying, with just 0.20 points per game across their last five away matches, scoring only 0.20 goals per game. Desler and Wolff are both doubtful for the visitors. However, the H2H record gives Seattle confidence, as the Sounders have won five of 11 meetings, compared to Austin’s three.
Austin’s dreadful away record gives the hosts a chance to respond. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 goals as only one of the last 11 H2H meetings produced four or more goals.
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 02:30.
