Austin FC

Austin FC has had a strong start to the current MLS season. After 15 rounds, they sit in fifth place in the Western Conference, trailing the leading Real Salt Lake by just three points. Austin has accumulated 23 points from 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses.

In their last 5 matches, Austin managed to gather 8 points. In the previous round, they drew 1-1 with San Jose Earthquakes, following two consecutive victories against Houston Dynamo (1-0) and Sporting Kansas City (3-2). The last time Austin lost was on May 12th in an away match against FC Dallas (1-2).

Portland Timbers

Portland Timbers also play in the Western Conference, but their results have been slightly weaker than Austin's. Portland is in tenth place, just 1 point away from the playoff zone. In 15 matches, Portland has secured only 4 wins. Last season, Portland missed the ninth spot by just 1 point, and they are eager to avoid a repeat of that fate.

In the previous round, Portland earned three points in a match against one of the season's biggest underdogs – Sporting Kansas City (2-1). In the last 5 matches, the Timbers have accumulated six points.
