Betting on Austin Football Club
Austin FC just suffered a 2-1 defeat against Houston Dynamo, making it two consecutive losses in the MLS. However, the team had previously won two games in a row, highlighting its unstable and unpredictable performance.
Zan Kolmanic, Sebastian Driussi, and Leo Väisänen are currently listed in the Austin FC’s medical department, with Kolmanic being the most severely injured due to a knee injury that is expected to keep him out until December.
In the current MLS season, Austin FC has recorded two wins, three draws, and two losses while playing at home. And the team has scored seven goals, and conceded seven as well.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Brad Stuver; Nick Lima, Alexander Ring, Leo Vaisanen, Adam Lundqvist; Rodney Redes, Jhojan Valencia, Daniel Pereira Gil, Emiliano Rigoni; Rodney Redes, Maximiliano Urruti.
Betting on Minnesota United Football Club
Minnesota, on the other hand, recently drew 1-1 against Real Salt Lake in matchday 15. Over the last five games, the team has had two wins, two losses, and a draw. This shows that, like its upcoming opponent, it is an unpredictable team from one match to the next.
Ryen Jiba, Mikael Marqués, and Bakaye Dibassy might miss the upcoming Austin FC vs Minnesota game. Actually, they’ll be evaluated until just hours before the match to see if they can make the roster.

Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Dayne St. Clair; Michael Boxall, Brent Kallman, Miguel Tapias; DJ Taylor, Robin Lod, Hassani Dotson, Kervin Arriaga, Kemar Lawrence; Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Jeong Sangbin.
