Austin vs San Diego prediction, odds and how to watch

Philadelphia Union were utterly dominant in San Diego, winning 5-0 with Cavan Sullivan grabbing a brace and the hosts reduced to a shambles after a VAR card at half-time. San Diego never competed.

Austin took all three points at Vancouver despite losing the disciplinary battle comprehensively, as Christian Ramirez's brace was cancelled out and then some by a Whitecaps side that imploded with five yellow cards and a red. Brian White's equaliser and Austin's relentless pressure proved the difference.

SJ Earthquakes came from a position of dominance to hold off a late San Diego fightback, winning 3-2 in a match that had red cards, VAR drama, and a 90th-minute penalty miss.

Austin have not lost in five matches and San Diego have not won in three. Something has to give on Sunday morning, and the evidence points firmly in one direction.

Los Angeles FC have drawn three of their last five MLS matches and cannot afford another stalemate at home. Austin roll into town without a loss in five and with goals in every one of those games.

San Diego have shipped ten goals in their last five matches and are running out of road. Houston Dynamo arrive having kept seven clean sheets in their last ten. Something has to give.

Nashville SC arrive at Austin in commanding form, having won six of their last ten in MLS. Austin have not kept a single clean sheet in that same window. Something has to give.

New York Red Bulls have not won in five matches and have conceded seven goals in that run. San Diego arrive in better shape, but neither side comes into this one with any great conviction.
