Austin form and stats

Austin have played 11 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Austin after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Austin lost their last game at Vancouver Whitecaps (placed 8th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points through four league matches. Valencia (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.1/10. Valencia dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 58 successful passes (of 58 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Minnesota United and winning 4-1.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Austin handle that role? We have found 19 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 7 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

Sporting KC form and stats

Sporting KC have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 1-6-5 (12 played). One point away has become something of a habit for Sporting KC who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Sporting KC played 2-2 against Real Salt Lake in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against Real Salt Lake after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Vermes needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Goalkeeper Mcintosh made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Real Salt Lake. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.

A 2-2 draw at Houston Dynamo's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Sporting KC have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 10 defeats.

Observe that 9 of this team's 11 latest league games have ended with three goals or more.

The attacking power of Sporting KC when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Sporting KC have conceded 19 goals in their away games.
