Prediction published on 21/06/2023, 13:06  by Daniel Ngulu in Major League Soccer Predictions

Austin will host Dallas in the Western Conference of the MLS as both sides seek to bounce back from defeats. Dallas have done much better in the season and this match finds them fifth while Austin are 12th. Austin’s form of mid-May to early June has abandoned them and they come into this game limping. They are coming from a 4-1 defeat away to Sporting KC, their fourth loss in five games. Sebastian Driussi’s goal could not spark a comeback, coming when they were 3-0 down. In the end they conceded one more, and now four of their last five matches have had over 2.5 goals. four times in the last five matches, they have conceded two or more goals. Having scored in each of their last four matches, Austin will be confident of extending that run. Sofiane Djeffal and Aleksandar Radovanovic are major doubts for this game.

Dallas have had the better season of the two but they haven't been great coming into this game. In their last outing, they lost 1-0 away to Portland Timbers, the first time in five that they failed to score. The visitors have just one clean sheet in five matches and have conceded twice in two of their last four matches. In the last five matches they have one clean sheet, and scored more than a goal in one. Like Austin, Dallas are struggling defensively – both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. They lost their last two away matches but having lost just once in five meetings with Austin, they’ll be confident. Jesus Ferreira is on 10 goals in 18 league matches and will be gunning for more against a defensively weak Austin.
