Austin vs Minnesota Prediction and Betting Tips | May 3rd 2025

Austin FC will welcome Minnesota at Q2 Stadium in Major Soccer League on Saturday. Both teams are closely matched in the Western Conference table as they push for the second spot.

Austin vs Minnesota Preview

Austin dropped three points in their last match after losing to Houston Dynamo 2-0 on the road. It was their fourth defeat in 10 matches, but they still sit high in the table in the third spot with 16 points. They could snatch the second place if they claim maximum points on Sunday and if the 18-point Portland Timbers fail to deliver.

Los Verdes are waging a relatively promising campaign compared to their output of last season, when they finished 10th and failed to qualify for the play-offs. It’s still early days, but they appear ambitious and determined to maintain their early momentum in the standings. Austin prevailed on the road 1-0 in their last meeting with Minnesota.

Minnesota sit just below Austin in the fourth spot, also on 16 points. They have won fewer matches (four) as opposed to five for Austin, but have also lost fewer (two). The visitors are winless in their last three matches, dropping as many as seven points. They will be keen to break the trend with this streak to keep their place.

The Loons finished sixth in the Western Conference last season and qualified for the playoffs, reaching the conference semifinals. They are certainly hoping for a better campaign this term. Minnesota are unbeaten in their last four away matches. They could take confidence from that streak as they head for this clash.
