Austin 3/4 to beat Houston in Wednesday’s MLS matchup

Competition: MLS

Market: Austin win

Odds: 3/4 @ 888sport

Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the Western Conference table, Austin will host a struggling Houston in the early hours of Wednesday.

Starting with the hosts, once again impressing last time out, Austin are enjoying what has become a stellar purple patch. In their 19 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, four draws and four defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 37, they open the midweek fixtures sat second in the Western Conference and just two points adrift of climbing to the top of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-0 romp against Atlanta on the road, Austin are unbeaten in each of their last five MLS matchups on the bounce. Likewise, along with winning each of their last three domestic contests by an aggregate score of 7-2, it should also be highlighted that Wednesday’s hosts have collected 13 points on their five-match unbeaten run.

As for the visitors, while Houston might have managed to snatch a point last time out, it does not cover what has been a worrying run of form. In their 19 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, four draws and nine defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, the Dynamo’s open the midweek fixtures sat 11th in the Western Conference and five points adrift of breaking into the Final Series spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against Dallas on home soil, Houston have managed to win just one of their previous five MLS matchups. Likewise, losing each of their last three meetings against Wednesday’s opponents, we’re backing a similar home victory here.
