Austin FC vs Columbus Crew Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in Austin’s last six MLS matches.
• Under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of Columbus Crew’s five away trips this season and in six of their nine league starts overall.

Austin to grind out another point against Crew

MLS new boys Austin FC have been involved in plenty of tight games in their first season and we expect that trend to continue when they entertain Columbus Crew at Q2 Stadium this Sunday.

John Wolff’s charges are third bottom in the Western Conference and are without a win in six, although they’ve proved difficult to beat of late with three of their last four outings finishing all square.

Austin have also had to deal with a glut of away trips in the early phase of the campaign, with nine of their ten starts thus far played on the road. That’s encouraged defensive solidity within the side and the Texan’s have seen under 2.5 goals netted in their last six MLS matches.

With this weekend’s opponents Columbus Crew losing three from five on their travels this term, the match betting looks best avoided here and another low scoring affair involving Austin is on the cards, with four of the visitors’ five away trips this season also generating less than three goals.

Two of Austin’s last four games have ended goalless, and that’s our correct score prediction for this Sunday’s action at the Q2 Stadium, where the hosts should again prioritise getting at least a point from the contest.
