**Red Bulls Visit Austin FC in Key MLS Matchup**

AUSTIN, TX – Austin FC will host the New York Red Bulls this Saturday at Q2 Stadium in a cross-conference clash with significant playoff implications. This marks only the second visit for the Red Bulls to Austin.

Austin FC, currently seventh in the Western Conference, is riding high after a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids. That win marked their first road victory since March. Despite boasting the fewest goals scored in the West, the Verde and Black are clinging to the final automatic playoff spot.

The New York Red Bulls, sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference after a 2-0 shutout of Atlanta United, are looking to extend their winning streak. After a shaky patch, the Red Bulls appear revitalized following a dramatic US Open Cup victory over Dallas. A win in Austin would mark their fourth consecutive league victory, a feat not achieved since October 2021.

Austin FC has been strong at home against Eastern Conference opponents, with their last loss in such a match occurring in July 2022 – against these very same Red Bulls.

Both teams have key players potentially unavailable due to injury and international duty. Austin FC may be without Julio Cascante, Myrto Uzuni, and Micah Burton. The Red Bulls could be missing Felipe Carballo, Dylan Nealis, and Lewis Morgan.

**Predicted Lineups:**

* **Austin FC:** Stuver; Desler, Svatok, Hines-Ike, Biro; Bukari, Pereira, Sanchez, Gallagher; Wolff; Vazquez
* **New York Red Bulls:** Coronel; Duncan, Eile, Hack, Valencia; Carmona, Edelman, Stroud; Harper, Forsberg; Choupo-Moting

**Analysis:**

Data analysis suggests a 52.02% likelihood of an Austin FC victory.
