My Prediction
Saint Louis City SC by 1Saint Louis City SC and Austin FC are toe to toe once again, hoping to prove which state can kick a ball better. Let's get down to the nitty gritty.
Austin FC's Brad Stuver has done a decent job tending the net, boasting a solid 7.02 rating with some consistent saves. For Saint Louis City's keepers, you have a slight edge. Roman Bürki is superior, demonstrating an excellent rating of 8.10.
Shifting focus on Austin FC's players, we've got Owen Wolff playing an interesting strategy, focusing more on accurate passes rather than pursuing goals. Guilherme Biro shows a bit more sparkle with a single goal and a remarkably high pass accuracy. Brandon Vázquez, apparently he following Biro's lead, has also managed a goal, but even with several opportunities, his shot accuracy leaves some room for improvement.
On Saint Louis' side, you've got Henry Kessler dominating the pass accuracy game but apparently afraid to commit to a goal... yet. Marcel Hartel and Cedric Teuchert, however, take things more offensively, each netting a goal.
In terms of historical match-ups, seems these two are keeping it neck and neck, last four games resulting in two victories for Saint Louis City SC, and two draws. No love lost between them, I assure you.
Saint Louis City SC has a 2-2-1 record this regular season while Austin FC has a slightly better record of 3-0-2. As for recent results, both teams have had mixed results. Austin FC has been on a win-lose pattern, and Saint Louis City SC demonstrating that playing safe with ties can also get the job done.
Taking everything into account, it's clear that Saint Louis City SC appears to have a slight edge, courtesy of better goalkeeper stats and past victories against Austin FC.
