Seattle Sounders vs Austin Prediction 20 August 2026
🔊 In this MLS regular season match, Seattle Sounders take on Austin. Both sides have not been looking as good as their fans would like recently. This applies to their defensive capabilities as well. So the meeting between these two could turn out to be far more rewarding for the attack than for the defence.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last match between these two sides took place at the end of July. Austin played at home and won 3:1. In the last 3 head-to-head meetings, the home side won each time.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle Sounders - Austin
Seattle Sounders Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Seattle Sounders, away team - Vancouver Whitecaps). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:2.
Here's the game statistics (Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps):
- ball possession: 43% vs 57%;
- corner kicks: 1 vs 8;
- fouls: 16 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 0;
- shots on target: 0 vs 6.
In the upcoming match, Seattle may well try to establish some decent attacking football. There was a recent match against Vancouver that ended in a 0-2 defeat. Even at home, the team had chances worth 0.84 expected goals according to xG. It's not the best situation, but against a team sitting lower in the table, some progress can still be made. That said, talking about a perfect defensive display isn't really on the cards either: 24 goals conceded in 18 matches. An average of almost 1.5.
Match Results: Seattle Sounders
Austin Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Austin, away - Dallas). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:2.
Here are the match stats (Austin vs Dallas):
- ball possession: 65% vs 35%;
- corner kicks: 7 vs 4;
- fouls: 12 vs 17;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 4;
- shots on target: 4 vs 6.
At the moment, Austin's position in the table looks far less favorable than their opponent's - 14th place against 11th. Their last MLS match also ended in defeat, against Dallas (1:2). Defensively, the situation looks extremely questionable. They are conceding an average of 2 goals per game. There is no reason to expect anything unusually good in this situation. Quite the opposite - there is a logic to shifting towards a more open style of play, as it may at least create some chances.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Two teams meet, each with a considerable number of problems. Seattle, of course, for a combination of reasons looks like a slightly more preferable choice. But there should be no massive difference in quality on the pitch. The hosts will struggle to organize their defense. The visitors - even more so. Both sides have quality attacking players, and the upcoming match could be a good one for them. Our editors think the match could see both teams score. We're going with Both Teams to Score (Yes).
