St. Louis City form and stats
25 points is a decent return from 12 Major League Soccer games here at CityPark for St. Louis City. The data says 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at CityPark.
The supporters are hoping that Louis will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away defeat in the Leagues Cup fixture against América.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Columbus Crew in the Leagues Cup. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Goals decide football matches and St. Louis City are scoring many of them at home; 29 on target from 12 league matches. St. Louis City are not conceding a lot of goals here at CityPark in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches.
Austin form and stats
Austin have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 3-2-6 (11 played).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Leagues Cup home defeat versus Juarez with 1-3 on the scoreboard.
The fixture before that was the Leagues Cup-battle against Mazatlan, a home loss (1-3). Austin are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 14 defeats. From a total of 22 matches.
Goal hungry football fans should note that 9 of this team's 10 latest league rounds have ended with three goals or more.
