Austin FC Outlook
Austin FC fell against Seattle Sounders FC last Saturday night at Q2 Stadium. The Sounders took the lead in the 63rd minute through Jordan Morris, the only goal of the night in a tight contest.
The Verde & Black now shift their attention to their midweek match against Texas rivals, FC Dallas on Wednesday night. The two already met twice this season, claiming one victory a piece. In late March, goals from Diego Rubio and Julio Cascante lifted the Verde & Black to a 2-1 victory against their I-35 rivals at home. In May, Captain Sebastián Driussi converted a penalty in Austin’s 2-1 loss at Toyota Stadium.
Wednesday’s match is crucial as the outcome will decide this season’s Copa Tejas, a supporter-created trophy which Austin has won each of the last two seasons. The Verde & Black can claim it for a third consecutive year with a win or a draw in Frisco and build momentum ahead of Saturday’s home match vs. Charlotte FC.
FC Dallas Outlook
FC Dallas is currently sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference, one spot under Austin with a record of 7-11-5. Dallas enters Wednesday’s match coming off a 2-0 win against LA Galaxy at home last Saturday night, their fourth win in seven games under interim head coach Peter Luccin.
Dallas forward Petar Musa is currently on a hot streak, scoring seven goals in his last six MLS appearances. FCD’s Logan Farrington netted Dallas’ other goal against the Galaxy and is now tied with Toronto FC’s Tyrese Spicer for most goals scored by a 2024 MLS SuperDraft selection in MLS.
In terms of goals scored and goals conceded, Dallas ranks right in the middle of all MLS teams. Their 1.5 goals per match and 1.6 goals conceded per match are both 15th in the league. They’ve been far stronger at home than they’ve been on the road this season, with 23 of their 26 points coming at Toyota Stadium.
