Player to watch – Joaquin Pereyra
Uruguayan midfielder Joaquin Pereyra has been parting plenty of defences with his incisive passing this term and has already lodged five assists in 12 starts in the MLS since the start of the season.
Pereyra’s distribution could be key
The schemer, has been playing 2.50 key passes per game in the MLS this season and has been as productive as anyone with the ball at his feet. Pereyra scored against Austin earlier this month and he could punish the same opponents again on Sunday.
