Austin FC vs FC Dallas: Prediction and odds on the Match on 16 August 2025

FC Dallas FC will lock horns against a more confident Austin FC side at the Q2 Stadium on Sunday. Nicolas Martinez’s men are now unbeaten in five games, and they’ll be willing to extend it further when they host an inconsistent opponent on their home turf.

Nicolas Martinez’s men settled for a share of the spoils despite being in pole position to secure the maximum points. Austin FC failed to secure their third successive win, as they were unable to protect their two-goal lead. The game started off with Austin FC asking lots of questions, and after thirty-one minutes of play, Sanchez opened the scoreline. Nicolas Martinez’s men extended the lead in the 41st minute to secure a first-half advantage. Austin FC were in the driving seat until the 80th minute, when they conceded from a spotkick and later let in a goal in the 89th minute. Before the game, Austin FC had won back-to-back games against DC United and LA Galaxy. 

Austin FC sit in seventh spot on the log and are now fifteen points behind the league leaders, San Diego FC. They have also picked up thirty-four points from twenty-four games, scoring twenty-three (23) and conceding twenty-eight (28). 

Austin FC have scored the fewest goals (23) in Major League Soccer this season and have won four of their last twelve games on their own ground.

Last five games: LDWLW

The Bulls' disappointing streak ended as they have only lost once in their last four matches. FC Dallas secured the maximum points just after their devastating loss against NY City. They opened the scoreline after eight minutes when Peter Musa found the back of the net. FC Dallas, who had previously lost on their ground, were so compact at the back and were rewarded with another goal in the 62nd minute to secure a (2-0) victory over Portland Timbers. FC Dallas have been pretty good lately and have picked up six points from a combined nine. 

Since the start of the MLS Campaign, FC Dallas have secured twenty-eight points from a combined seventy-five, scoring thirty-seven (37) and conceding forty-five (45) goals.

FC Dallas have won four, lost three, and drawn five times on the road this season. 

FC Dallas Lineup

Two key players are doubtful of this game, Paes and Shaq Moore, and their absence will add salt to their injuries. FC Dallas are very short at the back, but have some serious players up front. 

FC Dallas Potential Starting Lineup (3-4-3)

Collodi—Urhoghide, Sebastian Ibeagha, Lalaz Abubakar—Kamungo, Kaick, Moore, Ramiro—Farringhton, Peter Musa, Delgado

Out: Léo Chú, Enzo, Paxton, Geovane, Pedrinho, Moore, 

Head coach: Eric Quill

Austin FC vs FC Dallas match prediction 15 August 2025

Austin FC had a disappointing display against Houston FC, scoring twice while conceding two times later in the game to draw (2-2). The share of the spoils was after their emphatic victory against DC United on the road. At the same time, FC Dallas recovered from their devastating loss against New York City, when they scored two unanswered goals against Portland Timbers FC. 

Austin FC have always been solid on their home turf, and they have been defensively strong lately. Just one of the last Austin FC games has produced more than three goals. They have a solid defence but lack the ability to express themselves effectively in front of goal.

The guests, on the other hand, have been inconsistent lately, and they can’t switch off at any time against this solid Austin FC side. I genuinely think the hosts are the favourites, due to their resilience at home. One thing to also consider here is the fact that no visiting team has won in their previous five meetings. 

My match prediction is for Auston FC to win or draw and score more than a goal, with a coefficient of 1.65 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip for the match is an HT draw with a coefficient of 2.30 on Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is for the Austin FC side to amass all the points, with a coefficient of 1.92 on the Betway bookmaker.

Good luck!
