Austin vs St Louis City Predictions for MLS
Our Austin vs St Louis City picks were the result of a thorough analysis of the two teams’ recent performances.

Sebastian Driussi to Score Anytime
John Wolff owes much of his 2022 success to Sebastian Driussi. Austin’s goalscorer-in-chief was lethal in the penalty box last year as he slid it past the goalkeepers on 22 occasions. But he’s definitely no one-trick pony. He provided teammates with five assists and that sort of stuff is what top players are made of. Our key Austin vs St Louis City pick this week is Sebastian Driuissi to score at home against St Louis City.
2-0 to Austin
Considering this will be St Louis City’s first MLS season, we simply had to give the edge to the home side in this Austin vs St Louis City prediction. With three MLS seasons under their belt, Austin are now a force to be reckoned with and it will be quite difficult for the visitors on the 26h of February.
Q2 venue is an intimidating venue and it will take one hell of a performance from the visitors for Austin to not win this event. We fully anticipate a solid 2023 MLS start for Austin and last season’s display in the league can back us up on this one as coach Josh Wolff’s boys ended in 2nd place in the Western Conference.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Austin
Coach Josh Wolff’s boys will try to replicate LA Galaxy’s 4-1 win over St Louis City in the pre-season exhibition match on the 9th of February. It seems that St Louis City aren’t a team that thrives under pressure and you certainly need to be at the top of your game when you’re facing Austin at Q2 arena.
Predicted lineup – Stuver (GK), Gallagher, Cascante, Vaisanen, Lima, Ring, Pereira, Fagundez, Driussi, Rigoni & Zardes
St Louis City
It’s hard to tell how St Louis City are going to perform at Q2 Stadium on Sunday as they’ve never experienced MLS soccer before. Sure, they had a couple of pre-season friendlies but they didn’t go that well either. With one victory, three draws, and one loss in five matches, it’s fair to consider St Louis City the underdog in all Austin vs St Louis City predictions.
Predicted lineup – Burki (GK), Nelson, Parker, Hiebert, Nerwinski, Lowen, Blom, Alm, Ostrak, Stroud & Klauss

Player to Watch: Diego Fagundez
Playmaker-in-chief Diego Fagundez was among Austin’s top players last year. He was the key creative cog in coach Josh Wolff’s winning machine as he provided his teammates with 12 assists in 34 games – the highest on the team. Furthermore, he was also a convincing finisher when taking the goalkeeper one-on-one. With six goals to his name, the winger proved to be a valuable asset when Sebastian Druissi and Maximiliano Urruti had bad days up front. All the more reason for us to believe in our key Austin vs St Louis City predictions.
