Under 2.5 goals at Austin Bold vs New Mexico United 8/11 for Tuesday’s USL matchup

Competition: USL

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who are really struggling to pick up maximum points of late, Austin Bold will host New Mexico United in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, while Austin Bold might still find themselves hanging onto a spot in the Final Series places, they are in the midst of what has been a downbeat run of form. In their 18 USL matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 16 and conceding 19 in return. Despite mustering a points tally of 25 and opening the midweek fixtures holding a one-point buffer from dropping out of the top-four, it should be noted that they hold the worst-attacking tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Rio Grande Valley on home soil, Austin Bold have managed to win just one of their previous six USL contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted that Tuesday’s hosts have failed to score over 1.5 goals in 10 of their last 11 matchups across all formats.

As for the visitors, although New Mexico might have their sights set on making a late charge for the Final Series places, they are another side in the midst of a struggle. In their 18 USL matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, six draws and six defeats, scoring 21 and conceding 20 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 24, they open the midweek fixtures sat sixth in the standings and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-four. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out 1-1 draw against Oakland Roots on home soil, New Mexico have failed to win any of their last five USL contests, including four stalemates on the spin. It should be noted, managing to bag just a pair of goals on their five-match winless run, we’re backing what could be another cagey affair in the early hours of Tuesday.
