Austin FC vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
Austin FC vs New York Red Bulls Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday’s MLS showdown at Q2 Stadium. This intriguing cross-conference clash pits a defensively disciplined Austin side against a resurging New York Red Bulls outfit. In this article, you’ll find data-driven insights and MLS Predictions powered by XpertStats’ latest statistics and trends.
- Austin FC have scored just 13 goals in 18 MLS matches – lowest in the Western Conference.
- The Red Bulls have never lost to Austin in three previous meetings.
- New York have won three straight league games ahead of this clash.
- Only 22% of Austin’s matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
After a shaky run of form, Austin FC found some stability last weekend with a 2-0 away win over Colorado Rapids. While still struggling to find consistency in front of goal, Nico Estevez’s side has tightened up defensively, collecting seven clean sheets so far in 2025. With just 13 goals scored and only 0.67 goals per game, the Verde and Black are not known for high-scoring affairs—only 22% of their matches this season have ended with over 2.5 goals.
At home, Austin remain difficult to beat, losing just once in their last seven league matches at Q2 Stadium. However, their attacking shortcomings remain a concern, as they continue to be the lowest-scoring team in the Western Conference. Still, they have not lost at home to an Eastern Conference side since 2022—ironically, when the Red Bulls secured a thrilling 4-3 win.
New York Red Bulls arrive in Austin in confident mood, having strung together three consecutive wins following a turbulent start to the campaign. A 2-0 victory over Atlanta United last time out highlighted their improved efficiency in front of goal, with Choupo-Moting and Harper on target. With 27 points from 18 matches, Sandro Schwarz’s side are pushing for a top-three spot in the East, yet have picked up just five points on the road this season.
Despite the Red Bulls’ recent upturn, they still average only 0.63 goals scored and 1.38 conceded per game. Their last four away league matches have included three defeats, underlining their vulnerability on the road. Matches involving New York average just 2 goals, with only 38% ending over 2.5 goals. Based on both teams’ current styles, expect a tactical, tightly-contested affair. That’s why our MLS Predictions suggest a low-scoring outcome this weekend.
Both Austin FC and the New York Red Bulls are built on defensive organization rather than attacking flair. Austin average just 0.67 goals scored per match and 0.78 conceded, with only 22% of their fixtures ending with over 2.5 goals. Their matches total just 1.44 goals on average, the lowest in MLS. Similarly, the Red Bulls only manage 0.63 goals per game while conceding 1.38. That results in an average of 2 total goals per game, and just 38% of their matches see over 2.5 goals. With both teams struggling to convert chances and relying on strong goalkeepers—Stuver for Austin and Coronel for New York—a low-scoring encounter is highly likely. The last matches for both clubs ended 2-0, showing neither side is prolific in attack. Considering these stats, the Under 2.5 Goals bet provides the best value for punters expecting a tactical and cautious contest.
