Game Preview
St. Louis is without a loss in its last 4 games and looks pretty decent these days. The team reached the US Open semis, eliminating the Houston Dynamo on penalties this midweek. That game ended 2-2 before the shootout.
Marcel Hartel was in the middle of attention against Dynamo, bagging two goals and setting up a positive tone ahead of Saturday’s clash. By the way, we have to mention that St. Louis has won 4 of its last 5 home games.
Austin FC is turning a new leaf. The management decided to move on from the sporting director, Rodolfo Borrell, and head coach, Nico Estevez. Davy Arnaud is the interim manager now and will try to put out the fire.
The team has back-to-back losses: one in San Diego, 5-0, and the more recent one at home to Sporting KC, 1-2. Austin is terrible on the road, failing to produce a single triumph since the season started – 3 ties, and 4 defeats.
