New York RB form and stats

New York RB have played 14 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The New York RB coach Lesesne and his side return home after a 0-0 draw away versus New York City (placed 12th). Amaya (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.64/10. Amaya hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Philadelphia Union.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how York have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 3.

The manager Lesesne will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to DC United in only three days.

The New York RB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 15 goals have been conceded. New York RB has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Austin form and stats

There's been little loot from Austin's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Major League Soccer. Austin only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Austin in their previous game as they lost hosting Portland Timbers, 1-2. The attacker Rigoni got a match rating of 7.54 in that game. Rigoni hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus New England that ended 2-2.

We have checked recent matches where Austin have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 21 games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 13 defeats.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 13 of this team's 15 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Austin are hosting LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer only four days away.

Austin have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Austin have conceded 30 goals in these games.
