1-2 to Austin
With two of the five official games between Houston Dynamo and Austin ending with a 2-1 victory for the latter, we feel it’s our duty to provide you with this tad risky Houston Dynamo vs Austin prediction.
The remaining three matches ended with two more Austin wins and one for Houston Dynamo. It’s hardly a surprise that Austin have a higher market value and are in general, the more prolific US team. This will certainly give coach Josh Wolff’s boys the edge on Sunday and the fact that they were occupied with a CONCACAF Champions League game will make no difference.
BTTS
Four of the five games ended with both teams scoring a goal. The only one that didn’t was the second official clash between the two sides on the 12th of September, 2021, which ended with a brutal 3-0 victory for Houston Dynamo.
Sure, Austin’s energy may be depleted after the thrifty 2-0 victory against Violette on the 15th of March but coach Josh Wolff was smart enough to give some of his star players a well-deserved rest for this CONCACAF Champions League showdown. This means that most of his players will be fresh and ready for Sunday’s clash and that’s a solid foundation stone for our Houston Dynamo vs Austin predictions.

Houston Dynamo vs Austin Lineups & Team News
Houston Dynamo
Giving the Western Conference ranking a glimpse tells us that Houston Dynamo are at the bottom of the table with zero points to their name. In fact, Houston Dynamo are the only MLS team that hasn’t recorded any points this season and it doesn’t look like coach Ben Olsen’s boys are going to change that negative run on Sunday when they face the superior Texas team.
Predicted lineup – Clark (GK), Schmitt, Hadebe, Bartlow, Dorsey, Carrasquilla, Artur, Herrera, Franco, Baird & Ferreira
Austin
One thing we can say about the visitors is that they are a completely different team with Sebastian Driuissi on the pitch. Our Houston Dynamo vs Austin predictions are certainly safe as long as he partakes in this event. Austin came very close to the 2022 MLS title and we believe coach Josh Wolff has taken the necessary changes so that his team is up to par with the top MLS teams this year.
Predicted lineup – Stuver (GK), Kolmanic, Ring, Vaisanen, Gallagher, Wolff, Pereira, Fagundez, Driussi, Rigoni & Zardes

Player to Watch: Sebastian Driuissi
As we stated in our Houston Dynamo vs Austin prediction already, Sebastian Driuissi is one cracking player! He managed to poach away the top goalscorer trophy for the 2022 MLS campaign away from Philadelphia Union’s Daniel Gazdag. Averaging 0.68 goals per game, Sebastian Druissi scored a total of 25 goals in 37 MLS matches and the experts agree he’ll be the player to watch at PNC Stadium.
