Match Preview

Austin FC will have the important home field advantage for the U.S. Open Cup Final on Wednesday. They come into the final following a 2-1 success in the previous round against Minnesota United. However, their patchy form will remain an obvious concern.

They have recorded just two wins across their last four in all competitions, and they were last in action suffering a 3-1 defeat against Real Salt Lake. Scoring goals has been a continued issue for Austin FC this term, averaging just 1.1 per game from a low xG rate of 1.27.

Nashville SC will be chasing history on Wednesday, as they bid to win their first piece of major silverware. They continued their reliable run of form over the weekend after recording a 3-1 success against Houston Dynamo.

In the previous round of the cup, they ended a two-game losing sequence with a commanding 3-1 victory against Eastern Conference high-flyers, Philadelphia. Unlike their opponents, Nashville have thrived in an attacking sense this term, scoring 1.72 goals per game from an xG average of 1.53.

Austin FC vs. Nashville SC Picks

Despite not having home field advantage this week, we like the chances of Nashville SC to win their first piece of silverware. They have thrived offensively throughout the campaign, and have been solid enough defensively after keeping clean sheets in 28% of their matches.

• Nashville SC (+154)
