ℹ️ Team News: Houston Dynamo
Júnior Urso (Leg injury), Jimmy Maurer (unknown injury), Duane Holmes (Leg injury), Andrew Tarbell (Cruciate ligament tear), Lawrence Ennali (Cruciate ligament tear), Ethan Bartlow (unknown injury) and Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury) will be missing for Houston Dynamo boss Ben Olsen.
It’s our opinion that Orange Crush should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Jonathan Bond, Griffin Dorsey, Daniel Steres, Femi Awodesu, Franco Escobar, Brooklyn Raines, Artur, Jack McGlynn, Amine Bassi, Ibrahim Aliyu and Ezequiel Ponce.
📰 Team News: Austin FC
We’re of the thinking that Austin FC could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Brad Stuver, Jon Gallagher, Oleksandr Svatok, Julio Cascante, Guilherme Biro, Daniel Pereira, Besard Sabovic, Owen Wolff, Jáder Obrian, Diego Rubio and Myrto Uzuni.
💡 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Austin FC will likely create enough chances to put one past this Houston Dynamo lineup, although that is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 win for Houston Dynamo at the end of the match. Let’s see what happens here.
