Well, grab your popcorn or whatever it is that you snack on cause today we shall dive into the mix of Austin FC vs New England Revolution.
Bring out the fly swatters because in goal for the New England Revolution, we've got Aljaž Ivačič with a 6.40 rating and 12 saves, and for Austin FC, it's Brad Stuver, a little better on the rating at 6.75 but only half as many saves. Oh, my, isn't that sus...sorry no one says that anymore.
Top players? Well for New England, it seems they practically have a whole football team. Let’s spotlight Carles Gil, Mr. Precision himself, with an 8.26 rating, 2 goals, and a pass accuracy that won’t quit at 83.3%. Then there's Alhassan Yusuf, he hasn’t found net yet but he rarely missplaces a pass with that sweet 89.2% accuracy.
On Austin’s terrain, it's Guilherme Biro who's stealing the limelight with a 7.40 rating and a goal to his name. Then there's Daniel Pereira, no goals yet but with his 90.3% passing accuracy, the man's a provider!
Past matchups? Well, the last time these folks faced off, it was like a family disagreement at thanksgiving that didn’t get resolved - a cheeky 2-2 draw. Regular season records make it a bit of a pickle too. The Revolution with a rather unrevolutionary 6-6-8, while Austin goes a notch higher with 7-5-8.
On to recent matches, Austin seems to be in a more of a tic-tac-toe kind of situation with some wins, losses, and a draw, while the Revolution apparently decided to be generous, racking up a few more losses than they'd probably would have liked.
By considering all these factors that I'm informed I can't talk about, plus the inexplicably profound mystery of the cosmos, a winner prediction emerges from the smoke like a magic trick...
