My Prediction
Austin FC by 1Taking a gander at the matchup and if you find yourself at the edge of the seat then by all means, it's quite warranted. The Houston Dynamo and Austin FC are gracing the field in what appears to be a nail-biter.
In the trapeze act called the goal-keeping department, Houston Dynamo's gold-keepers are pulling rabbits out of their hats or maybe soccer balls, who knows. Anyway, Blake Gillingham with his 7.17 rating and Jonathan Bond with a 6.60 rating are doing a decent job. On the other side, we have Austin FC's Brad Stuver, sticking out like a sore thumb but in a good way, showing our boys from Houston how it's done with a neat 7.60 rating and 20 saves.
Panning the lens to the field players, Austin FC has some efficient staffers in the form of Owen Wolff and Daniel Pereira marked by their commendable accurate pass percentages. Houston Dynamo counters with Jack McGlynn and Franco Escobar with goal scoring prowess to put a scare in the faint-hearted.
Past skirmishes between the two sides have given mixed messages like a bad break-up. Five previous faceoffs have resulted in 3 wins for Austin FC and 2 for Houston Dynamo. Point of observation – hope none of the Austin FC players are superstitious because history leans slightly towards their side!
Looking at the regular season records, Austin FC seems to enjoy a mic-drop moment with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Houston Dynamo, quite on the contrary, must be reeling from their unflattering 1 win, 4 draws, and 4 losses.
Considering recent results, Austin is garnishing their stats with 3 wins in the last 5 games. Houston Dynamo, resembling a hard luck story, have just one win to brag about.
Collecting each piece of the puzzle and jumbling them up, we seem to roll towards a relatively favorable outcome for Austin FC given their impressive goalkeeper stats, potent field players, and better recent performance. That said, soccer is a game of surprises, and who knows Houston Dynamo might just pull a rabbit out of their hats. Or footballs. Anyway, here's my prediction, make sure to put your glasses on:
