Austin is currently in the playoff spots with 29 points after 22 MLS games, but given that they are 12 points behind St. Louis City in first place, they are unlikely to challenge for the top spot.
Peter Vermes' club has played three more games than the two teams directly above them on the table, yet they are currently two points out of the playoff spots. Additionally, they missed a good chance to win three points on their previous outing.
