Austin FC has gathered 29 points from 22 MLS matches played so far, which means they are presently in the playoff places, but they won’t reach the top position, since they are 12 points behind St. Louis City who is in first place.
Despite this setback, Austin is still on track to have a great season, and their form has gotten better in recent weeks, gathering 10 points in their last five games, defeating Houston Dynamo, Dallas FC and Minnesota United.
This team won their last two home games without forfeiting a goal, so they will be happy to be playing at Q2 today, as they have had a patchy form on the road lately, losing to the Vancouver Whitecaps the last time.
Austin sank into a 2-1 defeat in Canada, in what was an inspiring peformance, scoring just two shots on target throughout the whole match, a necessary improvement will be needed this week.
But, they struggled the last they played against Sporting Kansas City, losing 4-1 in the alternate fixture back in June, despite controlling most of the possession.
Possible Lineup: Stuver, Lima, Cascante, Keller, Gallagher, Wolff, Jimenez, Redes, Driussi, Fagundez, Urruti
Betting On Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City somehow became easy winners in the last fixture between the two teams, but their form since then has been disappointing, winner only one of their last six matches.
Kansas drew three of those matches, and are unbeaten in July, so there is an upside for them, but they will need more wins, and quickly too if they want to be in the playoffs.
They are presently two points off the playoff spots, but they have played three matches more than the two teams directly above them in the table, and blew a good chance to secure three points the last time.
Sporting went in 2-0 up at half-time against Real Salt Lake, with Daniel Salloi and Johnny Russell getting on the scoresheet, but they lost control of the game in the second half, eventually ending 2-2.
They have played poorly on the road since this season, not winning away from home since a 2-1 victory at Seattle Sounders at the beginning of May.
Possible Lineup: McIntosh, Davis, Rosero, Fontas, Leibold, Thommy, Radoja, Walter, Russell, Saloi, Pulido.
MatchPlug Prediction
Austin FC have played well at home in recent weeks, winning their last two games at Q2 3-0, and experts expect them to have another easy victory this Saturday. While they lost to Kansas City in April, they are three points above them in the table, even after playing two fewer matches.
Final Prediction: Austin FC Moneyline.
