8-2-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Austin, who have the most points (26) away in Major League Soccer, in their Major League Soccer matches away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Austin's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Austin's last game was the home draw against Nashville SC (1-1). Midfielder Driussi was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.45. Driussi scored one goal and hit one key pass.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Real Salt Lake.

Austin have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 23 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Austin struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.
