Austin FC team news

Austin FC come into this match off a morale-boosting away win, their first on the road since March, and a seventh clean sheet of the season. However, their home form has been mixed, with only three wins from nine at Q2 Stadium, though they have lost just one of their last seven league games there. Offensively, Austin continues to struggle, netting the fewest goals in the Western Conference, but their defensive organization has kept them competitive.

In terms of availability, Julio Cascante remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, while Myrto Uzuni and Micah Burton are away on international duty. Brad Stuver is set to continue in goal after a good outing in the last game.

New York Red Bulls team news

The Red Bulls have found momentum, winning three straight league games since their dramatic US Open Cup victory over Dallas. They are aiming for a fourth consecutive win, which would match their best streak since October 2021. However, their away form has been inconsistent, with three losses in their last four road games, though they did win their most recent away fixture.

The squad has several injury concerns: Felipe Carballo, Dylan Nealis, and Lewis Morgan all missed the last match, and their status remains uncertain. Despite these absences, the Red Bulls remain unbeaten against Texas teams in the regular season since 2019.
