Austin’s introduction to the MLS has been tough; the league’s newboys have already done five away matches and are set for three more. The next outing for Austin FC will be away to Nashville SC in Tennessee. The hosts go to the game placed eighth, with seven points from their opening five matches in the Eastern Conference, while Austin are on six points in 10th place. Nashville are still unbeaten in the season, but have managed just one win – the 2-0 home victory over New England. That win was one of their three straight clean sheets heading to this clash and thrice in the opening five matches, they’ve scored two goals. Since joining the MLS last season, Nashville have played 16 home matches; they’ve lost just two.

Austin have managed two wins in the season – against Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United. However, they go to this game having lost back to back matches against LA Galaxy and Sporting KC. It hasn’t been an easy introduction to the MLS for the side – in their opening five matches, they’ve lost three, and conceded two goals in each of the losses. Meanwhile, only one of the five matches has produced a clean sheet. In the five league matches played, Austin have scored five goals, with Diego Fagundez and Cecilio Dominguez netting two each.
