Austin FC Outlook
Austin FC enters this Copa Tejas clash with momentum, having gone 4-1-1 in their last six MLS matches and scoring a season-high four goals in their most recent 4-2 victory at D.C. United. Myrto Uzuni and Owen Wolff have each scored in consecutive matches, while Osman Bukari continues to provide attacking spark.
Despite owning the league’s lowest scoring total (21 goals in 23 games), Austin’s recent attacking form has boosted confidence heading into a favorable stretch of matches — nine of their last 11 opponents have worse records.
“The more you score, the more you get the confidence… This is the time everybody’s confidence will be high.” – Osman Bukari, Austin FC
Houston Dynamo FC Outlook
The Dynamo come in struggling, winless in their last six matches across all competitions and 0-2-1 in their past three MLS games. In their most recent league outing, Jack McGlynn’s first-half stoppage-time penalty salvaged a 1-1 draw against Philadelphia.
Coach Ben Olsen has been rotating his lineup heavily, aiming to balance immediate results with future planning, but admits it has affected chemistry on the pitch.
“This is a group of players who don’t play with each other much… Now it is about the last 10 games and seeing what we can do to get into the postseason.” – Ben Olsen, Houston Dynamo FC
The Lean
Austin’s recent run of form, coupled with home-field advantage and Houston’s struggles, tilts this matchup in the Verde’s favor. The Dynamo have managed only one win in their last nine MLS road matches, and Austin’s surging confidence could be decisive.
Projected Score: Austin FC 2 – 0 Houston Dynamo FC
