My Prediction
New York Red Bulls by 1Let's comb through this Austin FC and New York Red Bulls matchup, shall we?
In goal, we've got reliable guardians in the form of two human force fields: Carlos Coronel for the Red Bulls and Brad Stuver for Austin FC. Both goalies have been in blistering form this season, with Stuver having a slight edge with a 7.32 rating. Don't ask me how they calculate these ratings; I just work here.
Turning to the attacking end, our eyes are set on Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting of the Red Bulls, who's been shooting balls past goalkeepers like he's playing pinball, boasting 4 goals. His cohort, Cameron Harper, has also put an impressive show with 2 goals. For Austin FC, Žan Kolmanič and Mikkel Desler have each scored a goal. It seems it's more of a community effort for Austin FC. I guess everyone gets a turn.
Reflecting on their historical animosity - or the lack thereof - we're immediately brought back to the memory of their bore draw in their previous encounter. An unforgettable thriller, I’m sure.
And as far as the team records go, New York Red Bulls have been knocking the ball out of the park with a solid record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. Austin FC, on the other hand, have been slightly modest in their endeavours, ringing up a ledger of 6 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses.
Looking at recent form, it's like comparing apples and oranges. And by that, I mean the Red Bulls are like Granny Smiths: crisp, tart, and winning, except for their loss to New York City FC. Austin FC’s results, noticeably filled with draws, are more like those questionable apples you find at the bottom of the fruit bowl: neither here nor there.
Considering all of these fatiguing stats - I suspect you switched off several lines ago - the prediction machine that is me is tilting, maybe even staggering, in favor of the Red Bulls. Drumroll, please:
