Austin FC vs Colorado Rapids Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Major League Soccer on Sunday, 26 March 2023.
Austin FC had an average start to this fresh MLS season. Austin lost to St. Louis City and won their second fixture to then add a victory and defeat to make it two wins and two defeats in four matches.
They will be facing a four-match winless Colorado Rapids in their upcoming fixture. Rapids lost three and drew one of their three fixtures this season and are sitting at the bottom of the table.
The past four overall wins was evenly split, with two each for both teams. Their most recent clash ended in a 1-1 draw.
They have met just twice at this venue. Colorado Rapids were unbeaten in both the fixtures.
Austin’s victory over Montreal in their most recent home fixture might have given them the spirits which they failed to pick from their opening fixture, a 2-3 defeat against St. Louis City.
They will have a great chance to maintain the temporary positive display going when they face against Colorado Rapids, who have lost their two road trips this season.
Moreover, the defeat against St. Louis was Austin’s only negative recording in the past 12 home outings. Therefore, we expect a win for Austin FC on Sunday.
The recent match-ups of both sides at respective patches display high-scoring affairs at a good rate. Moreover, three of the past five h2h meetings between these two had goals over 2.5 ft. Thus, we expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
Colorado Rapids are yet to score one on the road this season. When considering such a trend, we should be going with the both teams scoring no option.
But we are thinking of a different display as their h2h tradition strongly suggests a both teams scoring scenario. In addition, Colorado have scored in their total two clashes at this stadium.
The current home run of Austin FC looks impressive and convincing. An unimpressive Colorado to win won’t be our pick considering the home run of Austin for the past 12 matches.
We like to place Austin FC to win at 1.55 odds as the main tip. For the second tip, we like to place the over 2.5 goals @ 1.67 odds.
