β Editorial Prediction
Given the current trends, both teams have struggled with scoring throughout the season. Special attention should be paid to the number of goals scored by the visiting team-Austin often scores less than 1.5 goals on the road (in 13 of their last 15 matches). The likelihood of this trend continuing is high, considering D.C. United's defensive strength, despite the form of their starting lineup. It's also hard to place faith in the home side, as they have yet to find consistency and make too many errors in attack. We suggest betting on under 2.5 goals, as it's difficult to expect a high-scoring affair in this match.
