Austin are one of the best starters to the MLS this season and will be looking to extend this when they take on Minnesota United in their next league match. Both teams have eight points going into this game but a superior goal difference places Austin in fourth place, four places above Minnesota United. Across the two conferences, no team has scored more goals than Austin – 13 in five matches. They have two wins and two draws in their opening five matches and going into this game they will be looking to bounce back after three straight winless outings. In their last game, they squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with struggling San Jose Earthquakes and after failing to keep a clean sheet in the last four matches, they will hope for a lift here. Three times in their opening five matches, Austin have scored two or more goals and they’ve failed to score in just one of their opening five matches.

Just like Austin, Minnesota United have managed two wins in their opening five league games. However, going into this game, they suffered a 2-1 loss at home to Seattle Sounders and will be hoping to bounce back. This season so far, they haven’t managed to score more than a goal but once in the five matches, they’ve conceded two goals. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they have two clean sheets in the five league matches. Away from home in the league, Minnesota United have one win, and one clean sheet in five matches. Both sides have scored in four of Minnesota United’s last five away matches in the league. In the last two matches against Austin, Minnesota have emerged winners, and kept clean sheets in both matches.
