Austin preview: Hoping to end their winless streak
While Austin have started the new season well, with four wins in first six games, but things haven't been going as well for them since. In fact, Austin are currently on a streak of seven games without a win in the MLS, including three losses. Austin are still in the race for the playoffs, especially since it's still relatively early in the season, but they need to find their best form sooner rather than later.
On the bright side, Austin currently have a clean bill of health.
Predicted lineup: Stuver (GK), Biro, Hine-Hikes, Svatok, Gallagher, Sabovic, Sanchez, Wolff, Uzuni, Vazquez & Bukari
