Analysis
Houston is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They only have 1 win in their last 9 MLS matches and that was a 1-0 win at home against LAFC. Their defense has been good at times, but their attack has not been very good as they do not score many goals and struggle to create scoring chances. Even when playing at home, they have lost 3 of their last 5 MLS matches there with only 1 win in that span. They are going up against an Austin side that has been in very good form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 1-0 win at home against the Galaxy in their last match and they have won 4 of their last 6 matches with 1 loss in that span. Their only loss in that span was a bad 5-1 loss to Vancouver, but Vancouver is also currently sitting at the top of the table with the best record in the league. Austin has actually won 2 of their last 3 away matches though with that being their only loss, and they have kept clean sheets in both of those wins as well. Their defense has been very good in general recently as well, keeping 3 clean sheets in their last 4 matches and 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. Houston does not have a good attack and they have not been in good form either so they are going to struggle to find the net on this Austin defense and that will be what keeps them from getting 3 points here. Austin will win this match or at least draw, take Austin +0.5 here. USA MLS: Austin +0.5, Rot. 209801
