We said: Austin FC 3-1 Sporting Kansas City
Austin have been brilliant at home in their recent outings and are now on the verge of breaking their record for most successive wins at home since joining the MLS, and we believe they will do just that with a victory against an out-of-sorts Kansas.
This fixture has provided plenty of goals in their recent meetings, and we expect that theme to continue in this one.
