Austin FC vs. FC Dallas Match Analysis and Prediction

MLS Cup semi finals will return to the fold this week as Austin FC is set to host FC Dallas at the Q2 Stadium. Match day schedules for October 24 at 03:00 EAT.

The first-ever playoffs match in Austin was eerily similar to many of their fixtures in the 2022 regular season. An unnecessary challenge from RSL striker Rubio Rubin changed Austin’s fortunes dramatically last weekend as the Verde and Black poured on the pressure, out-shooting the visitors 25-3 following that expulsion.

Austin FC prepares for this match off the back of 2-2 MLS Cup Playoffs draw with Real Salt Lake in their last outing. In that match, Austin FC had 68% possession, 37 shots with 11 of them on target and goals scored by Sebastián Driussi (31′, 94′). Real Salt Lake got 11 shots with four of them on target and goals by Sergio Córdova (3′, 15′).  Austin FC won the match 3-1 after penalty shootouts.

On the other side, FC Dallas come into this fixture having suffered only one defeat in their last 11 matches against their two state rivals while they have one win and one loss against Texas-based sides in the playoffs.

Dallas also held each other to 1-1 MLS Cup Playoffs stalemate with Minnesota United in their last outing. In that match, FC Dallas had 60% possession, 19 shots with nine of them on target and a goal scored by Facundo Quignón (64′). Minnesota United got seven shots with three of them on target and a goal by Emanuel Reynoso (53′).  FC Dallas won the match 5-4 after penalties.
