Austin FC have been difficult to beat at Q2 Stadium, avoiding defeat in 25 of their last 31 MLS home matches. They’ve drawn seven of their most recent 14 games at the venue, underlining a mix of resilience and occasional frustration in front of their fans.
Josh Wolff’s men rely on making their home ground a fortress, and with the playoff picture tightening, they will view this as a chance to pick up crucial points. Expect them to dominate possession and test San Jose’s shaky backline.

The Earthquakes’ inconsistency remains their biggest issue. In their last six league games, they’ve won twice, drawn once, and lost three times, conceding 1.83 goals per match while scoring 1.67.
Their away form has been worrying, with defeats in over half of their last 15 trips and no win in eight of their last 10 away outings. Defensive frailties have too often left them exposed, though Martínez’s scoring form ensures they carry a threat going forward.
MatchPlug Prediction on Austin FC vs San Jose Earthquakes
Austin FC’s strong home record meets a San Jose side that struggles on the road. While the hosts are resilient, they have shared points too often, and the Earthquakes have just enough firepower to find the net.
This clash feels set for another draw, with both teams likely to score but neither able to land the knockout blow.
