ℹ️ Team News: Houston Dynamo

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Houston Dynamo gaffer Ben Olsen to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Brad Smith (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is out of contention.

It looks as if Orange Crush may well opt for a 4-3-3 formation for the game, handing starts to Steve Clark, Daniel Steres, Ethan Bartlow, T. Lingani Hadebe, Tate Schmitt, Hector Herrera, A. Carrasquilla, Artur, Corey Baird, Amine Bassi and Ivan Franco.

🗞️ Team News: Austin FC

Austin FC manager Josh Wolff has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. CJ Fodrey (Hamstring Injury) and Julio Cascante (Tear in the abductor muscle) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Austin FC will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Brad Stuver, Jon Gallagher, Alexander Ring, Leo Vaeisaenen, Zan Kolmanic, Jhojan Valencia, Daniel Pereira, E. Ariel Rigoni, Sebastian Driussi, Diego Fagundez and M. Nicolas Urruti.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Austin FC and Houston Dynamo should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

It could well end in a draw. Therefore, we predict a very close game with a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes.
