Austin vs DC United Lineups & Team News

Austin

Coach Josh Wolff’s side’s previous game was versus lackluster Colorado Rapids so it can hardly give us the full picture, but we believe Austin have the three points up for grabs against DC United. Austin came close to winning their last game at Q2 Stadium, as the game versus LA Galaxy ended 3-3.

Predicted lineup – Stuver (GK), Lima, Cascante, Vaisanen, Gallagher, Driussi, Valencia, Pereira, Finlay, Rigoni & Ring

DC United

We sincerely hope Christian Benteke has a poor day on the 5^th of October. He’s the light in DC United’s tunnel this season, as just recently he scored a lovely hattrick for his team. However, nullify the former Liverpool star, and you get points. This is, of course, good news for our Austin vs DC United prediction.

Predicted lineup – Bono (GK), Teixeira, Hisnes-Ike, Pines, Davis, Durkin, Canouse, Klich, Pirani, Benteke & Ku-DiPietro

Player to Watch: Sebastian Driussi

Defending his 2022 Major League Soccer Top Goalscorer Award is a difficult, but not impossible task for Sebastian Driussi. Austin’s attacking midfielder bested Philadelphia Union’s Gazdag last year, but so far, he’s far behind the top finishers in the league. He has only a couple of games to score five or six goals, which truly seems like an impossible quest to undertake. However, he does have a good chance of bagging a couple of goals against Wayne Rooney’s side and proving our Austin vs DC United predictions correct.
