Austin FC

Austin FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with their current third-place position in the league table belying some inconsistent performances. Despite a respectable tally of 16 points from 10 games, their goal difference is surprisingly negative at -3. The team have managed three clean sheets in their last six matches, which is commendable, but they've also suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps, significantly impacting their goals conceded average. Austin's attacking output has been modest, scoring just 5 goals in 6 games, with 67% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, they've won three of their last five matches by a single goal margin, suggesting a tendency for tight, low-scoring affairs. Their ability to grind out results is evident, but the recent 2-0 loss to Houston Dynamo indicates there's still room for improvement in their overall consistency.
